Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has provided a positive update on Victor Boniface’s recovery from a thigh injury.
The 23-year-old forward sustained the injury during Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Rwanda last month.
Current Recovery Status
Boniface, a vital player for both club and country, is not expected to return to the pitch before the end of the year. However, Alonso remains optimistic about the forward’s progress.
“We have hope. He is on the right track, but it is too early to say when he will be back,” the former Spain international told Liga Insider.
Impact of the Injury
Boniface’s absence is a significant setback for Bayer Leverkusen, who have relied on the forward’s talent in their attacking lineup.
His performances this season have been pivotal in the club’s domestic and European campaigns.
Looking Ahead
While Alonso’s cautious optimism suggests Boniface’s recovery is progressing well, no specific return date has been set.
Fans and teammates alike will be eager to see him back in action as Bayer Leverkusen continues to push for success on multiple fronts.
As the year closes, the hope remains that Boniface’s return will coincide with Leverkusen’s ambitions to maintain their competitive edge.
