Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface is nearing a return to action following a spell on the sidelines due to a thigh injury sustained while on international duty last November.
The 24-year-old faced a setback in his recovery towards the end of last year, but Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has now confirmed that Boniface is progressing well.
“Maybe next week, but only maybe,” Alonso stated. “There is still some uncertainty. He is feeling much better, but he will need some additional training time before he can return.”
The Nigeria international has made a strong impact this season, scoring eight goals in 15 appearances across all competitions for Die Werkself.
