2021 Jadon Sancho was sold from Dortmund to Manchester United for 85 million euros. Since then, he has not performed as well as he used to at Dortmund. Now both clubs have agreed that Sancho will return to Dortmund for the next 6 months. The medical check still has to be done. Let see if he can regain his old form. He played his last game at Manchester United at the end of August. Dortmund has no option in the contract to buy him after the 6 months.

Breaking News!

Bad news has come for Leverkusen because their mainstay striker this season, Victor Boniface, is reportedly injured and will be out for 6 weeks. The player from Nigeria also had to miss AFCON and I think this is a loss experienced by Nigeria and Leverkusen because they have to lose a very important figure in the competition. Victor Boniface has a right muscle-tendon injury and will undergo surgery in the next few days.

It seems that the intensity of the existing competition meant he had to step aside early before AFCON and the Bundesliga at the start of this year. Once again, Victor Boniface is a victim of the national competition he has to play for and previously we knew at Leverkusen he had no injury problems at all. Obviously this will be the biggest loss for Leverkusen because they lost the spearhead of their attack while currently topping the standings.

Theoretically, taking into account the fact that if not for the injury, Boniface would have taken part in the African Cup and would still have been absent from Bayer's upcoming games, Xabi should already have some kind of plan. But now the situation has become more complicated since restoration within the specified time frame is not guaranteed.
I'm shocked that Boniface scored 10 goals and are the club's top scorer, but the club's second top scorer is defender Grimaldo (7 goals) 
Maybe he should finally change his position?

Alex Grimaldo didn't need to change his position to become a striker and besides, his role as a wing-back was extraordinary, contributing to that many goals for Leverkusen. But it's not only Alex Grimaldo who has a good record, other players such as Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong are also part of the club's top scorer list. So should Florian Wirtz or Jeremie Frimpong also come in to replace Victor Bonicafe? No, right

So again, Victor Boniface's role is not only as a goal scoring machine but also as a player who can attract opposing defenders so that his teammates have a good chance of scoring goals. It seems that even though it is not a position that should be important, as long as Leverkusen has these 3 players, I don't think there will be any problems that arise in the future. While Leverkusen waits for Victor Boniface to recover from injury, Xabi Alonso will still be able to utilize the existing squad without having to buy players this January.

Bayern leverkusen is always having good delivery and why shall we feel doubt about that? Im not even doubting the capability of leverkusen in the match against munich for the bundesliga trophy this season.

Of course with the current conditions their statistics are very good. So there is nothing lacking in their team. But because Bayern Munich's statistics are able to be more stable, maybe many people have more confidence in Munich. I think there are several reasons. Munich has a large transfer fund that might be able to change things. Munchen has more stability and has been tested in several seasons of competition. The statistics of the Munich players are superior. But Bayern Munich did lose because they underestimated the opposing team. They lost 5-1 with Frankfrut.

What makes some people still doubt Leverkusen is because Leverkusen has only shown their impressive performance this season, they have not yet tested how consistently they can maintain their current performance. In contrast to Bayern Munich, they have been defending champions here for more than a decade, we can already see how consistent they are in maintaining their performance, even though they slipped several times, they were able to recover quickly, which we have not seen from Leverkusen. If they slip, for example, how confident are we that they can recover quickly? no one can answer that with certainty because they have not really been tested as well as we saw with Bayern Munich.
It's actually natural that many people ask that question, because they have a basis for the questions they ask. One of the reasons is as I explained.

Borrusia Dortmund generate profits from the sales of their important players, inturn these players are the necessary players that are obligated to help the club and raised them to good levels in football. Big loss on Manchester United end, they're unable to make good use of the English man and we would wait and see him play in Dortmund jersey, he got the fire inside him.

This may probably helping sancho to regain his confidence but the worst thing if terzic will not give him a place in the starting lineup if he will show same performance like when he played for manchester united.

Lol, even this season Jadon Sancho only played in Manchester United first three matches and after that, Jadon Sancho not available in the Manchester United squad. It's very funny to me, because even though the player is an expensive transfer, but in reality Manchester United seems to easily ignore this player. Therefore, with Jadon Sancho returning to Dortmund then yes, I hope it will be a regret for Manchester United because they failed to maximize the great potential that Jadon Sancho has. Moreover, at this moment Dortmund is also in a bad trend because it is still outside the top four in the Bundesliga standings. So yes, I hope Jadon Sancho can really restore Dortmund in the second half of this season and yes, I hope Jadon Sancho succeeds in returning Dortmund to the top four of course.

Sancho is preparing to wear the Dortmund jersey again on loan. Dortmund was the team that created him. Dortmund manages to make very good profits from players. Jadon Sancho is said to have reached an agreement for a loan fee of €4M. If Dortmund get him at the end of the season, I'm sure he won't have to go to another team for a long time.

I don't really agree with what you said because looking at their track record in the Bundesliga, from the 2017 season to last season they never once got out of the top 6 zone even though there were indeed not too comparable to Bayern but on several occasions they could always be troublesome and only last season they stumbled into the relegation zone first then again started to rally and finished in 6th place.

This is quite the same in the 2021 season where they were in the 3rd position at that time although indeed the difference in the difference was still too far at the end of the season with Bayern but they still proved that they still deserved to be recognized the problem is that we do not know this season whether they are able to make a bigger breakthrough than the 2021 season or not because indeed in terms of quality at this time they are still promising but the season is still very long so we cannot speculate further before they can prove with a good performance until the end of the season.

Oouuch! Shiit!
This is the five time rookie of Bundesliga award winner, absent for his country and also his club. This news reminds me immediately about Christopher Nkuku who also got Injured during the last few days of the Fifa World Cup Competition.

Right now, Nigerian Football Federation has only Ademola Lookman, Chukwueze, Simon Moses and Victor Oshime as the major driving force for their attack. I'm confident with what they have in attack but they literally lacks midfielder's who are competent.

Xabi Alonso though played the last game without starting Boniface, I saw it as a means to checkmate what he won't be having for month, they played well so I expect dame pattern.

How can Sancho prove himself if Manchester United do not give him enough time? I'm sure he'll get better as he plays. I hope Manchester United realize they made a mistake by sending him off.

When jadon Sancho first arrived at Manchester United it was highly anticipated that he was gonna be the new Christiano Ronaldo due to his escapades in Germany with Borussia Dortmund where he scored numerous goals and gave alot of assist, he came in with lots of prospects, he was very young and had a good knowledge of the game, besides he was british so he was very excited to play in his home country, but things never turned out to be as everybody thought, he had to work with different coaches who had different ideologies and style of play which he(sancho) couldnt cope with and as result made him sit on the bench or came in as substitute. Am so glad to learn that the player is going back to Dortmund where he had a good time and I believe he is going to use this time out to redeem his self esteem and also get back to former status.

Damn , thats for sure some bad news for Leverkusen and also the national team from Nigeria.
He was and is an important player for Nigeria and Leverkusen , but Xabi Alonso has some good options on this Strike position with Patrick Schick.
Even its bad that he got injured i see no big problem for Leverkusen.

I hope Manchester United realize they made a mistake by sending him off.

For now nothing is fix that he returns , but all looks like that he will come back to Dortmund.

I even want to say that this is Jadon Sancho's opportunity to prove that he is a player with extraordinary potential and Man United will regret wasting his potential. I am also sure that the presence of Jadon Sancho at Dortmund will bring Dortmund back to the top four.
Man United officially destroyed their player's career. So, for me, it's not a bad transfer decision, it's a bad management decision, the manager doesn't know how to manage a game changer or a big football star, it's nothing personal. You just have to accept when other players have crazy skills and just give them motivation and confidence and make them feel appreciated.

I actually want to see a new champion in the Bundesliga. The competition has been so one-sided for a very long time that it has actually become boring. But this season Bayer Leverkusen have actually been able to throw some life back into this competition. Next time it seems like a new champion might be possible. But of course, nothing is certain. Anything can still happen and for Leverkusen to be able to win the Bundesliga title, they will have to be consistent throughout the whole season. I would not even mind if they did not do well in the Europa League competition. I want them to win the Bundesliga title.

Everyone does, it is really not something that we could change at any given moment and it should not be all that simple, we are going to face some changes without a doubt.

However, I believe that it is going to be a tough one, and we are going to end up with something that should be a little bit crazy, it should definitely be considered a little bit of miracle to happen for them to lose it and that is why it is going to be a tough one. I get that it is not going to be all that confusing or tough to deal with, we just need to make sure that Bundesliga has some other good team and none of the other teams are that good at the moment, they are not really doing all that crazy. Which is why I expect it to be not that easy to handle.

[QueenVera]

Leverkusen is still having patrik schick as the secondary striker and im not seeing it as an important thing. Boniface was injury then what's next? what i can say that if just try to let him recover himself. It will be useless to argue when he will be back and just trust the process.
It's not yet a big lose for leverkusen. Im think that patrik can use this moment to prove his worthiness as a striker as well. This makes the situation becomes even worst and we can only hope that he will able to play good like boniface.

Im not complaining if he was injured caused by this is a non predictable thing. This will make xabi aware how important to have a secondary striker. The club can't always rely upon boniface.
As long as leverkusen has secondary striker then what's the problem? Despite knowing that Boniface was a good player, is it not unfair to deny the secondary striker an opportunity to play, especially considering Boniface's injury?

I think that this is a reasonable solution for this problem.

Leverkusen have been good in their performance so far this season, their squad list has been beneficial to them and the coach's strategy too. It's only fair that now that their key striker is out on injury, they only have to get a replacement for him. Well it's not going to be a very big deal because luckily for them the window is open all they need to do is to carefully scout a good replacement that would match their strikers ability, even though it's temporary.

 The second choice striker doesn't have much of the ability as the first and so a lot of work should be done or it's cost the team their performance records subsequently. Yes injuries cause setbacks to teams but it's inevitable and unpredictable too that's why it'll be best for a team to structure themselves and the squad as to always having the right replacement when these setbacks occur. Let's hope that the second striker would match the pressure that the forth coming games would put up.

[tusandii]

Theoretically, taking into account the fact that if not for the injury, Boniface would have taken part in the African Cup and would still have been absent from Bayer's upcoming games, Xabi should already have some kind of plan. But now the situation has become more complicated since restoration within the specified time frame is not guaranteed.
I'm shocked that Boniface scored 10 goals and are the club's top scorer, but the club's second top scorer is defender Grimaldo (7 goals)  
Maybe he should finally change his position?

This is why I say Leverkusen will find it difficult to become Bundesliga champions. Because they don't have as good squad depth as Munich. With a point difference of only 4 points, I think Leverkusen should be able to appear consistent. And to be consistent, a team must have good squad depth so they can rotate players. I think this is a problem faced by clubs who are not favorites to win at the start of the season like Girona in La Liga. This is bad news for Leverkusen and their next match is against Augsburg. I want to see how they perform without Victor Boniface.

However, that has not been proven and I think so far Leverkusen's performance is quite good and they have equal quality players in all lines so that a good chemistry between players is created which makes their performance quite impressive. Losing key players due to injury should affect a team's performance, however I believe Xabi Alonso can overcome this and do many things to maintain the stability of the Leverkusen team's performance.

There are still 18 matches remaining and there are still a lot of changes that will occur, whereas currently all clubs have to overcome obstacles because several players will go to compete for their country and usually injuries occur and that's when changes can occur.
I always recognize Xabi Alonso as the coach who is currently always being talked about, he will always be willing to help Leverkusen to continue trying to maintain its position and also break Bayern Munich's dominance, but the problem is that there is something we don't understand, that even though the difference is 4 points, the match is postponed making the difference small. Far.
The difference in points between Bayern Munich and Leverkusen is 4 points, while the match is also 1 match apart and I'm worried that even though Leverkusen is in first place, in the end in the final match of the season, Munich can overtake Leverkusen because there is 1 match remaining that Munich has missed, but I want to see Leverkusen get it. title this season.

[AakZaki]

Dortmund have confirmed that they want Sancho to wear the Dortmund shirt again. It seems they are in the process of negotiating with Man United. They said this discussion would not be easy because they had not yet agreed on the value of Sancho's loan. I don't understand this is so annoying for Sancho because he is in trouble at Man United. He couldn't leave easily, it must be like he was in prison right now.

Yes indeed, I also hope that the Bundesliga will have a new title winner and ya, this season Bayer Leverkusen has the opportunity to win the Bundesliga trophy. Although indeed, anything can still happen and also, in reality, Bayern Munich is still able to create a close points gap with Bayer Leverkusen in the top standings. Therefore, of course Bayern Munich is also ready to take over the top position in the Bundesliga standings at any time. But what will be a regret if Bayern Munich fails to win a trophy is about Kane, because Kane wants to get a trophy but in this season or his first season in Bundesliga, in reality Bayern Munich has a surprise strong rival team and that is Bayer Leverkusen.

You are partly right and the lack of squad depth is a common problem for teams that are not top clubs, but look at Bayern - they had a disastrous season due to the fact that Lewandowski left and they did not find a replacement for him in time. What I mean is that injuries and absence of players are a random factor that affects both top clubs and underdogs, theoretically, the distance should average out this influence. And don’t forget that Bayern’s priority will be the Champions League, where they will spend all their energy, but Bayer can easily sacrifice the Europa League and this will not sadden anyone.

Yes, fortunately the transfer window has opened, and Leverkusen have opportunity to recruit a new striker to strengthen their attack line. But I think Leverkusen may not be interested in bringing in new players on the attack line at this time, because Leverkusen still have players who are not too bad actually, Patrik Schick could also be a good option for Xabi as second striker. Although so far Patrik Schick has not been able to show a good performance. But in the last match he was be able to score a hattrick, while mainstay striker Leverkusen who is currently injured, has been very impressive in every match.
