He got injured while on international duty with Nigeria
Bayer Leverkusen is not in good form, and to make things worse for Xabi Alonso's team, their top star and first-choice striker Victor Boniface got seriously injured during the recent international break.
The Nigerian was assessed after the return to Germany, and it showed that he suffered a thigh injury in the 2-1 defeat to Rwanda.
Therefore, he will not return to the action before 2025.
Leverkusen will face Heidenheim on Saturday before confronting Union Berlin, St. Pauli, Augsburg and Freiburg until the end of the year.
Boniface has been Bayer's top scorer this season with eight goals, and his absence will surely be a massive kick in the gut for Xabi Alonso.
