Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso has given a fitness update on Victor Boniface ahead of the upcoming Bundesliga match against Borussia Dortmund. Boniface has been out of action since he injured his thigh while on international duty last November. The 24-year-old was said to have returned to light training before Christmas but experienced a setback in his recovery. Alonso emphasized the need for patience and support for the striker, stating, “We were hoping he would be back in training on January 2.” “That’s unfortunate,” he said to the media on Thursday. “We need to be patient for him to return to his peak condition and to better understand the injury.” The priority now is to provide him with our support.
