AFCON 2023: Terem Moffi replaces Boniface in Super Eagles’ squad

Super Eagles head coach, Jose Peseiro, has called up Terem Moffi to replace the injured Victor Boniface in his squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

The OGC Nice forward was a shock omission from the final list for the tournament.

Boniface picked up a groin injury in training and has been ruled out of the 2023 AFCON finals.

The 23-year-old is expected to be sidelined for around with six weeks.

The former Union St Gilloise striker will now fly back to Germany to begin treatment on the injury.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) will now await the approval of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to register Moffi for the AFCON.

The 24-year-old has scored four goals in 12 appearances for the three-time African champions.
