Victor Boniface expressed his joy and relief as he made a triumphant return to the pitch following a challenging three-month injury layoff. The Bayer Leverkusen striker underwent surgery for an adductor injury in January, marking his absence from the field until recently.
Boniface’s eagerly awaited comeback saw him feature in Leverkusen’s DFB Pokal victory over Fortuna Dusseldorf last week, signaling the start of his return to action. His return gained further momentum as he made a significant impact in Leverkusen’s UEFA Europa League clash against West Ham United, where he came off the bench to score in a decisive 2-0 win.
Reflecting on his return, Boniface expressed gratitude for the opportunity to play football again after enduring the challenges of injury rehabilitation. Despite the setbacks and missed games during his recovery period, he remains determined to regain his form and contribute to his team’s success.
His goal against West Ham United marked his fifth in six appearances in the Europa League this season, underlining his importance to Die Werkself’s European campaign. As Boniface continues to make strides in his recovery, his return to form will undoubtedly bolster Leverkusen’s aspirations in both domestic and continental competitions.
