Bayer Leverkusen managing director Simon Rolfes has [expressed](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/football-events-and-tournaments/noah-adedeji-sternberg-scores-on-full-debut-as-genk-triumphs/) optimism about the immediate impact Victor Boniface could have as he returns to the squad after recovering from a hamstring injury. Boniface, who has been sidelined for the past eight games, is back just in time for the second half of the season. +

Despite his absence, Leverkusen managed to maintain a perfect record, winning all their games without their [star striker](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/interviews/benjamin-boldly-backs-flying-eagles-ahead-of-morocco-clash/). His return adds depth to Xabi Alonso’s attacking options, particularly with a crucial away match against Borussia Dortmund on the horizon. +

Rolfes acknowledged that Boniface’s match fitness might be a concern after his prolonged layoff but believes his scoring ability and suitability for the starting XI make him a strong contender. Before his injury, the 24 year old had been in superb form, registering eight goals and an assist in 15 appearances across all competitions. +

The competition for a starting spot remains fierce, with Patrik up during Boniface’s absence. However, Rolfes remains confident in Boniface’s capability to contribute immediately, providing a significant boost to Leverkusen’s title ambitions as they gear up for the second half of the season. +

+
Victor Boniface’s return to Bayer Leverkusen is a timely boost for a team already firing on all cylinders. His presence on the pitch could be the added edge Leverkusen needs to solidify their title aspirations and maintain their momentum in the Bundesliga. +
+
While Patrik Schick’s performances during Boniface’s absence have been commendable, the Nigerian forward offers a unique blend of power, pace, and clinical finishing. His scoring record before injury [demonstrates](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/match-previews-and-reviews/isaac-success-scores-dramatic-match-winner-on-debut/) his importance to Xabi Alonso’s setup, and his versatility adds a new dimension to the attack. +

Boniface’s return also highlights the resilience and depth of Leverkusen’s squad. The team’s unbeaten run without him is a testament to the effective system Alonso has implemented. However, his reintegration into the starting XI must be carefully managed to ensure he regains full match fitness without risking re-injury. +
