Victor Boniface has expressed sadness after being ruled out of this year’s AFCON due to injury.

Boniface picked up the injury in the Super Eagles training camp in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Due to the injury the Bayer Leverkusen striker missed the Eagles’ test game against an Abu Dhabi local club which ended 12-0 on Sunday.

Also, Boniface was not selected for the friendly game against Guinea on Monday which the Eagles lost 2-0.

His injury is coming just six days before the Eagles open their AFCON campaign against Equatorial Guinea on Sunday, 14 January.

Commenting on the setback, the striker recalled how he also missed the 2019 U-20 AFCON due to injury also.

“U20 nations cup got injured 7 days before nations cup,” he wrote on X.

“Super eagles got injured 6days before Nations cup

“Only GOD Knows why.”

Taiwo Awoniyi and Wilfred Ndidi were also ruled out of the tournament due to injury.
