Capello Faults Milan ‘Gamble’ on Injury Prone Nigeria Striker, Boniface

Former Milan coach Fabio Capello criticized the club's decision to sign injury-prone Nigerian striker Victor Boniface from Bayer Leverkusen instead of Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United. Capello highlighted Boniface's history of ACL injuries and lack of experience in Serie A as potential concerns for Milan.

Despite reports of a medical examination, Capello believes the gamble on Boniface could be risky for Milan, especially with his injury record and potential unavailability during the AFCON. Capello suggested that Milan should have focused on signing a more experienced and reliable striker to strengthen their squad.

In a separate report, Rivers United and Remo Stars played out a draw in the NPFL opener, with both teams showing promise in the new season. Remo Stars' Victor Mbaoma scored the first goal of the season, but Rivers United's Timothy Zachariah equalized, leading to a competitive match that ended with a draw.
