Boniface still short of fitness, unavailable for Werder despite training return | OneFootball

Victor Boniface remains out of contention for Werder Bremen’s Bundesliga meeting with 1. FC Köln on Sunday, with coach Daniel Thioune saying the striker still needs to build his fitness.

According to BuLi News, the Nigerian returned to team training more than a week ago after injury but is not yet under consideration for selection.

Speaking on Friday, Thioune said the club had expected him to come back in better physical condition.

He added that Boniface would be reintroduced gradually via team sessions rather than through individual work.

Boniface has made 11 appearances without scoring since joining Werder on loan from Bayer Leverkusen last summer.
