Bundesliga: Fit-again Boniface eager to taste action

Bayer Leverkusen forward, Victor Boniface can’t wait to return to the pitch again following his injury induced absence.

Boniface returned to training this week after undergoing surgery for an injury in January.

The 23-year-old was initially expected to be sidelined till around April but has now made a quick recovery from the injury.

The striker could feature in Leverkusen’s Bundesliga clash with TSG Hoffenheim this weekend.

Boniface acknowledged he is eager to play for his club again.

“The team did very well without me. When I came to Leverkusen, I said that I don’t look at rankings or individual scores,” Boniface was quoted by Sport Bild.

“Of course goals and assists are important, but the most important thing for me is to be able to help the team with my style of play and simply have fun. I really miss being on the pitch with my teammates and hope to be back soon.”

He has registered 16 goals and eight assists in 23 appearances across all competitions for Die Werkself this season.
