Boniface steps up recovery at Leverkusen
Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface has sparked optimism among football fans after posting an update suggesting he has begun his recovery work at Bayer Leverkusen following recent knee surgery, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
The 25-year-old forward shared a picture from the Leverkusen gym on Monday, writing simply, “12:49pm. Leverkusen.”
The post came a day after Boniface hinted at a return to training on his X (formerly Twitter) account on Sunday with a hopeful message alongside a photo of himself on the pitch.
“Work starts tomorrow. Thank you, LORD,” Boniface wrote.
The Nigeria international, who is still on a loan contract at Werder Bremen from Bayer Leverkusen, has been sidelined in recent weeks after undergoing knee surgery.
The posts generated positive reactions from fans and supporters, many of whom have been eagerly awaiting updates on his fitness ahead of upcoming club and international engagements.
Although no official timeline has been given for his full return to competitive action, the messages appear to indicate that Boniface has resumed light training as part of his rehabilitation.
His Super Eagles teammates sent heartfelt messages of support to the forward following reports of his surgery during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations when they claimed a bronze medal.
