AFCON 2023: Terem Moffi Replaces Injured Boniface In Super Eagles’ Squad

Nice forward, Terem Moffi has been called up for the Africa Cup of Nations starting at the weekend, 13^th January to replace injured Bayer Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface.

Victor Boniface was forced to withdraw from the tournament in the Ivory Coast due to a groin injury he picked during training in Abu Dhabi and the 23-year-old is expected to be sidelined for around with six weeks.

Moffi made his international debut in June 2021, scoring four goals in 14 games, but had initially failed to make the cut in coach Jose Peseiro’s side despite his six goals for Nice since the start of the season.

Nigeria are in Group A with hosts Ivory Coast, Guinea-Bissau and Equatorial Guinea, who they open against on January 14 in Abidjan.
