Leverkusen, Bremen Await Boniface Surgery Decision
Bundesliga sides Bayer Leverkusen and Werder Bremen are anxiously awaiting a final decision on Victor Boniface’s medical situation, as the Nigerian forward considers undergoing surgery over a lingering knee injury.
Boniface, who is currently on loan at Werder Bremen from Bayer Leverkusen, has been struggling with persistent knee problems that have limited his availability this season. Medical experts are reportedly advising surgery, a move that could rule him out for the remainder of the campaign.
Sources close to the player disclosed that discussions are ongoing between the player, his representatives, and both clubs to determine the best course of action. While surgery could provide a long-term solution, it would likely bring his season to an early end.
Leverkusen, who retain Boniface’s rights, are said to be closely monitoring the situation, as the striker remains part of their long-term plans. Werder Bremen, on the other hand, are hoping for a quicker recovery that would allow the forward return before the end of the season.
The 23-year-old Nigerian has shown flashes of quality when fit but has struggled with fitness issues in recent months, raising concerns about his long-term availability.
A final decision on whether Boniface will go under the knife is expected in the coming days, with both clubs awaiting clarity on his recovery timeline and future involvement.
