Boniface not fully fit for action – Leverkusen boss

Bayer Leverkusen manager, Xabi Alonso has said Victor Boniface is not ready to return to action following his injury lay-off, DAILY POST reports.

Alonso revealed that his initial plan was to feature the Nigerian in next Wednesday’s DFB Pokal semi-final clash with Fortuna Dusseldorf.

The Spaniard has however said the Nigerian needs more time to attain full match fitness.

“For Victor Boniface we’ll wait a little longer. The idea is that he will be back in the squad on Wednesday. Exequiel Palacios and Arthur won’t be there tomorrow either,” Alonso told a press conference on Friday.

Boniface returned to full training this week after spending around three months on the sidelines due to an adductor injury.

The 23-year-old has registered 16 goals and eight assists in 23 appearances across all competitions for Die Werkself this season.
