Still not match-fit? Werder chief sets clear task for Boniface | OneFootball

All parties involved in Victor Boniface’s loan to Werder Bremen hoped that the striker would quickly regain his former level of performance.

However, the Nigerian has so far only been used sporadically by the Green-Whites. To change this, Clemens Fritz, Werder’s Managing Director of Professional Football, has now issued a clear directive.

“Together with Victor, we have clearly identified the issues and are supporting him from all sides,” the former professional told 'Bild'. “This concerns athletic training, physiotherapy, and also nutrition with appropriate guidance,” he continued, listing areas in which Boniface still seems to have deficits.

The passionate author of cryptic social media posts has not yet started a match this season. In four substitute appearances, Boniface has provided one assist and accumulated a total of 84 minutes of playing time.

However, Bremen’s hopeful is by no means letting himself go, Fritz assured: “Victor is also putting in extra shifts, gave up a day off at the weekend, and is training.” A breakthrough from the powerful striker would be important for the Green-Whites. Up next in the Bundesliga are opponents perceived to be on equal footing: Heidenheim, Union, and Mainz.
