Victor Osimhen has joined other well-meaning Nigerians to express their happiness for Victor Boniface after the striker returned from his knee injury early.
Boniface has endured a difficult past months, starting from January 2025 when his proposed move to Al-Nassr collapsed, and the club signed Jhon Duran instead.

He continued at Bayer Leverkusen until the end of the season and had an offer to join AC Milan on a season-long loan with an option to make the move permanent.
The move also collapsed after Milan detected a possible recurrence of a knee problem, having suffered two ACL injuries in his young career.
German Bundesliga side Werder Bremen took a gamble and signed him on loan for the rest of the season, but the risk did not pay off from the get-go.
Boniface struggled for form initially before suffering a knee injury that was expected to rule him out of the season, forcing him to return to Leverkusen.
Werder Bremen welcomes Boniface
However, in a quick turn of events, the striker has made a dramatic recovery, and Werder Bremen confirmed his return and plans to ease him into the squad.
“Victor will train individually for the remainder of this week. We will then slowly ease him back into team training, in the hopes that he might be able to feature again before the end of the season,” the club's statement reads.
The striker spoke after his first return to the grass in a video shared on Instagram by Werder Bremen, expressing his delight at returning to the pitch again.
“Hello guys, it’s Boniface. I’m really happy to be back. I was out for three months, and now I’m back. I’m happy and looking forward to what we can achieve before the end of the season,” he said.

Osimhen is also out injured after suffering a fractured arm during Galatasaray’s 4-0 loss to Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League on March 18, 2026.
Galatasaray provided a positive update on his recovery after he underwent a successful surgery. He has returned to individual training in the gym.
