Victor Boniface Updates on Injury Recovery Progress

Victor Boniface, a 25-year-old forward, shared an update regarding his injury recovery on February 17, 2026, via his official social media account. Boniface has been struggling with a knee injury throughout the 2025-26 season during his loan spell at Werder Bremen, which did not improve, leading to the decision to undergo surgery in Innsbruck, Austria, in January 2026.

Following the operation, Boniface has commenced rehabilitation and is resuming light training under the supervision of Bayer Leverkusen's medical staff. His recovery progress is reported to be positive, although there is no official timeline for his return to full competitive play.

Boniface aims to regain fitness in time to represent the Super Eagles at the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations, provided he remains injury-free.
