Nigeria star Victor Boniface happy to return after three months injury absence

Nigeria international Victor Boniface has delivered a timely boost to Werder Bremen after returning to training following a prolonged injury absence that had threatened to end his season prematurely.

Boniface had been sidelined since January after undergoing knee surgery, a setback that initially cast serious doubt over his chances of featuring again this campaign. His absence was keenly felt, with Bremen missing his attacking presence during a crucial stretch of the season.

Now, in a major step forward in his recovery, Boniface has resumed personal training this week—signaling that his return to competitive action may not be far off. The development has reignited optimism within the club that the striker could still play a role before the season concludes.

Speaking about his comeback, Boniface expressed both relief and determination as he looks ahead to the final weeks of the campaign.

“I am happy to be back after three months out. I am now looking forward to what we can achieve at the end of the season,” he said via the club’s official channels.

Before his injury, Boniface had been a key figure for Werder Bremen, offering physicality, movement, and goal threat in the final third. His return—even if gradual—could provide a much-needed boost as the team pushes to finish strongly.

Club medical staff are expected to carefully manage his workload to ensure a full recovery, with a phased reintegration into team training likely before any matchday return is considered. Nevertheless, the early signs are encouraging, and Boniface’s progress will be closely monitored in the coming weeks.

For Bremen, the timing could prove decisive. With the season entering its critical phase, the potential return of a fully fit Victor Boniface could add firepower and depth to their attacking options—offering renewed hope of achieving their end-of-season objectives.

After months on the sidelines, Boniface’s comeback story is gathering momentum—and if all goes to plan, the striker could yet have a final say before the curtain falls on the campaign.
