Victor Boniface
25-Year-Old
Werder Bremen
Bundesliga
OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 4/26/2026
Trains partially Wednesday
Boniface (knee) is already training partially with the team and is likely targeting an April return, ahead of the initial schedule set following his knee surgery, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Boniface had only just returned to Bremen this week to begin individual sessions, making his rapid progression to partial team training Wednesday, a genuinely encouraging development. The striker had initially been written off for the rest of the season, so every day he spends on the pitch with his teammates brings a late-season cameo closer to reality. Bremen will continue to manage his workload carefully given the nature of the surgery, but the momentum is firmly pointing toward Boniface being available before the final whistle blows on the campaign.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Target for Chelsea
Chelsea could target Boniface in the summer of 2025, according to Teamtalk.
ANALYSIS
Given how Chelsea have done business over the last two transfer windows, it shouldn't be surprising to see the Blues being linked with players having a strong start to the season. Boniface has been thriving when healthy for Leverkusen, and given Chelsea's ongoing need of adding a striker, it makes sense for the Blues to target him as a potential summer target for 2025.
