Super Eagles forward Victor Boniface has provided a major boost to football fans by confirming the commencement of his rehabilitation at Bayer Leverkusen. The 25-year-old striker, who recently underwent surgery in Innsbruck, Austria, to repair a persistent knee injury, shared evidence of his return to the gym on Monday. This progress follows a cryptic yet hopeful social media post on Sunday, where he signaled the start of a new phase in his recovery journey.
Although Boniface is currently serving a season-long loan at Werder Bremen, he is conducting his recovery at his parent club, Bayer Leverkusen, under the supervision of their medical team. The Nigerian international struggled with fitness earlier in the 2025/26 campaign, failing to find the net in 11 Bundesliga appearances before opting for surgical intervention. While Werder Bremen officials do not expect him to feature again this season, his early return to light activity suggests a positive trajectory for his long-term career.
The news has resonated across the football community, with several Super Eagles teammates sending messages of solidarity as he works toward full fitness. Boniface remains a vital part of Nigeria’s future plans, and his dedication to the recovery process underscores his determination to regain the form that made him a standout in the Bundesliga. Supporters continue to track his progress closely as he aims for a complete return to competitive action ahead of the next campaign.
Victor Boniface expressed his readiness to begin the grueling recovery process with a brief message: “Work starts tomorrow. Thank you, LORD.”
