Moffi replaces injured Boniface, to join Super Eagles squad in Cote d’Ivoire

Terem Moffi has been called up to the Nigeria squad for AFCON 2023, to replace the injured Victor Boniface.

Boniface picked up a groin injury in Super Eagles training camp and will reportedly be out of action for up to three months.

 

Moffi called up to replace Boniface

Boniface’s absence is a huge blow to Nigeria as many had anticipated a deadly strike partnership with Victor Osimhen in Jose Peseiro’s 4-4-2.

The Bayer Leverkusen man will now undergo treatment in Germany in hopes of a swift recovery.

Moffi’s initial exclusion was a huge surprise, with many questioning the inclusion of skipper Ahmed Musa instead.

He has scored 7 goals in 17 games for OGC Nice this season.
