Wilfred Ndidi Facing Season-Ending Lay-Off As Agu Backs Boniface’s Comeback

The Nigerian midfielder is expected to be sidelined for up to six weeks, a period that effectively rules him out for the rest of the Turkish Super Lig campaign. Ndidi, who joined Beşiktaş from Leicester City last summer, has featured 22 times in the league this season, contributing two goals and establishing himself as a key figure in midfield. The development represents a significant setback for both club and country.

Meanwhile, Werder Bremen’s Felix Agu has expressed optimism over the gradual return of fellow Nigerian international Victor Boniface, who has resumed training after a lengthy spell on the sidelines due to a serious knee injury. Boniface underwent surgery earlier in the year and endured a challenging recovery period, with his club carefully managing his reintegration into first-team activities.

Agu, speaking to Deichstube, welcomed the striker’s return but cautioned that he still requires time to regain full match sharpness, while praising his quality and technical ability. He highlighted Boniface’s vision, movement, and passing intelligence as standout attributes that remain evident in training sessions despite his long absence.

The defender also referenced Boniface’s previous impact at Bayer Leverkusen, stressing that his contribution to their title-winning campaign was no coincidence. Looking ahead, Agu expressed confidence that once the striker returns to full fitness, he can still play a decisive role before the end of the season.
