It seems they have many many important stuff in them that might be a problem if it isn't canon considering the manga showing Boruto without the eyes. In my guess this is all gonna turn into a flashback chapter albeit a shorter story of the Dark creature and Boruto's eye. Considering the very deliberate setup (Manga in a later stage than the Anime), it would be utterly retarded if the various writers didn't sit down together and make some agreement on shared storylines.

For instance, if Boruto's Anime eye is different from the Manga eye, it's going to confuse a heck of a lot of people and the storyline, no matter how good, simply isn't worth such confusion.
