After a three-month hiatus due to a groin injury, Victor Boniface has resumed full training with Bundesliga table-toppers Bayer Leverkusen.

Boniface, who missed the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire after hurting his groin during the competition’s buildup, has been diligently working towards his recovery in recent weeks.

His return comes as a timely boost for the team, as they vie for multiple titles this season.

The 23-year-old striker, despite his absence, remains Bayer Leverkusen’s leading scorer this season boasting an impressive record of 16 goals and 8 assists in 23 games across all competitions.

With his return, Xabi Alonso’s side, currently undefeated in all competitions this season, anticipates a strengthened squad as they contend for the Bundesliga, DFB Pokal, and UEFA Europa League titles.

In the race for their first Bundesliga title in 13 seasons, Die Werkself lead closest challengers Bayern Munich with ten points.
