Alonso confirmed:
Leverkusen striker is certain to miss out against Salzburg
Germany's soccer champions Bayer Leverkusen will be without their top striker Victor Boniface for Tuesday's Champions League home game against Red Bull Salzburg (21:00).
The 23-year-old Nigerian is suffering from a minor muscle injury in his thigh and will therefore miss the league game against Heidenheim and Salzburg on Saturday (3.30pm), Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso confirmed on Friday.
According to Nigerian media reports, Boniface was injured in Monday's international match against Rwanda (1-2). "We hope he will be able to play again this year," said Alonso. Boniface has scored six league goals this season. Last season, he scored 21 times in 34 competitive games as Leverkusen won the double.
