Victor Boniface already back in training with Werder Bremen
While he was expected to miss the rest of the season following knee surgery in January, Victor Boniface could now make his comeback much sooner than anticipated.
The Nigerian striker has already returned to training with Werder Bremen this week, a rapid recovery that has surprised many in Germany. A match return this weekend against RB Leipzig still seems a bit too soon, but the outlook is becoming increasingly optimistic.
Boniface, who joined on loan last summer from Bayer Leverkusen, has only played 11 league matches this season, registering 2 assists and no goals, largely due to his injury setbacks. His return could provide Werder with an extra option in their battle for Bundesliga survival at this crucial stage of the campaign. The big question now is what the future holds for him after this season, as he remains under contract with Leverkusen until 2028, with no purchase option included in his loan deal.
