Bayer Leverkusen’s pursuit of the Bundesliga title receives a positive update with progress in Victor Boniface’s injury recovery. The Nigerian forward, sidelined since January due to an adductor injury, is reportedly "on schedule" in his comeback, as shared by the club’s sporting director, Simon Rolfes, according to Football Italia.
Rolfes mentioned that the 23-year-old has resumed light running and might be back in action by April. This development is crucial for Leverkusen, given that Boniface is their leading scorer this season with 16 goals and eight assists in 23 games.
The absence of Boniface, especially after missing the Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria’s Super Eagles, has been felt keenly. Leverkusen aims to reintegrate him into the squad as they navigate the Bundesliga, where they are in contention for the title.
