Super Eagles of Nigeria and Bayer Leverkusen forward Victor Okoh Boniface has said he missed being on the field of play with his teammates.
Recall that the Nigerian international has been out of action for a couple of months after coping with an injury while in the camp with the Super Eagles in preparation for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations and had to undergo surgery to correct the injury.
The skillful attacker resumed training with the rest of the team this week ahead of their game against TSG Hoffenheim this weekend.
However, in an interview with Sport Bild, Boniface lauded his teammates for their impressive performance in his absence.
“The team did very well without me. When I came to Leverkusen, I said that I don’t look at rankings or individual scores.
“Of course goals and assists are important, but the most important thing for me is to be able to help the team with my style of play and simply have fun. I miss being on the pitch with my teammates and hope to be back soon”, the former Union SG said
Boniface has registered 16 goals and eight assists in 23 appearances across all competitions for Die Werkself this season.
