Bayer Leverkusen’s Nigerian striker Victor Boniface is not expected to feature in the club’s first competitive match of 2025.
As his teammates prepared for the Bundesliga showdown with Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday, Boniface was seen completing a brief individual training session, according to Bild.
Without the ball in sight, the Nigerian center forward focused on light laps around the pitch. Unfortunately, Boniface will miss the much-anticipated clash against Dortmund this Friday.
The striker, who has been sidelined for over a month with a thigh muscle injury, recently suffered a minor setback in his rehabilitation, further delaying his return. The timing of his recovery remains uncertain, leaving Leverkusen fans eagerly awaiting news on his comeback.
While Boniface continues his rehab, Leverkusen gears up for a busy start to 2025, with a packed schedule that includes Bundesliga, Champions League, and DFB Cup fixtures in quick succession. The English week begins with tough opponents: Dortmund, Mainz, and Gladbach.
