'He’s still part of the squad': Eguavoen backs Boniface
The Bayer Leverkusen star man has failed to score for the national team despite several appearances and the loss to Rwanda in Nigeria's last AFCON qualifying match highlighted the striker's frailties in front of goal.
After the encounter on Monday, Coach Eguaveon spoke of the player's struggles to score at the post-match conference.
“Yes, good question. Boniface is capable of great things, especially in his club. When he comes here, we try to give him a lot of confidence and playing time,” he said.
“I’m somebody who wants to give players confidence. I’ve done enough, but for whatever reason, he’s still not clicking with the team,” he said.
Nevertheless, the former international disclosed that the player still has his trust and will be called up whenever the team has a game.
“He’s still part of the squad. He will remain part of the squad,” Eguavoen stated.
