How has Boniface been fairing with the Super Eagles?

Victor Boniface has fallen in the pecking order in the striking position with the Super Eagles of Nigeria since the introduction of Gent forward Tolu Arokodare.

The 24-year-old was an unused substitute during the World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda at the Amahoro stadium in Kigali, but came in less than 10 minutes before the end of the match against Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo last match.
