Super Eagles forward Victor Boniface has begun a rehabilitation programme after undergoing successful knee surgery in Austria, dealing a major blow to both his club and Nigeria’s national team.
The surgery was carried out to address a knee injury that had troubled the striker in recent weeks, and medical officials have confirmed that the procedure was successful. However, Boniface has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2025/26 football season, as he begins a carefully monitored recovery process.
The rehabilitation programme is expected to focus on gradual strengthening, mobility work and fitness conditioning, with medical staff taking a cautious approach to avoid complications or re-injury. His absence is a significant setback, given his importance to his club’s attacking options and his growing influence in the Super Eagles squad.
Boniface has enjoyed an impressive rise in recent seasons, establishing himself as one of Nigeria’s most promising strikers in Europe. His injury is expected to affect club plans for the rest of the season and could also impact national team selections for upcoming international fixtures.
Football analysts and fans have since expressed support for the striker, urging patience and a full recovery. Club officials remain hopeful that Boniface will return stronger next season, while national team handlers will be forced to explore alternative attacking options in his absence.
