Erik ten Hag Demotes Super Eagles Striker Victor Boniface at Bayer Leverkusen, Reason Emerges

Bayer Leverkusen's new coach, Erik ten Hag, has demoted Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface, placing him behind Patrik Schick and Christian Michel Kofane in the club's striker pecking order. Boniface, who joined the club two years ago, has had a successful stint, scoring 32 goals and providing 13 assists in 61 appearances.

However, a recent injury setback has affected his playing time. Despite his proven record, Boniface has struggled to feature in matches under the new coach, with Kofane impressing in a recent game.

Ten Hag has attributed Boniface's lack of game time to fitness concerns rather than a drop in form, suggesting that the Nigerian international still has a chance to reclaim his spot. However, Boniface's future at Bayer Leverkusen remains uncertain, with potential interest from other clubs.
