<br>Bayer Leverkusen managing director Simon Rolfes has expressed 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.

<br>Despite his absence, Leverkusen managed to maintain a perfect record, winning all their games without their star striker. His return adds depth to Xabi Alonso’s attacking options, particularly with a crucial away match against Borussia Dortmund on the horizon.
<br>
<br>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](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/transfer-news/yobo-premier-league-move-to-everton-ideal-for-moses-simon/). Before his injury, the 24 year old had been in superb form, registering eight goals and an assist in 15 appearances across all competitions.

<br>The competition for a starting spot remains fierce, with Patrik Schick stepping 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.

<br>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.

<br>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 his importance to Xabi Alonso’s setup, and his versatility adds a new dimension to the attack.
<br>
<br>Boniface’s return also highlights the resilience and depth of Leverkusen’s squad. The team’s 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.

<br>As Leverkusen prepares for high stakes fixtures, Boniface’s return signals a statement of intent. If managed effectively, his presence could transform the team into genuine title contenders, proving that a [successful squad](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/national-team-news/awoniyi-unbothered-by-osimhen-boniface-competition-as-afcon-nears/) is not just about [surviving setbacks](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/category/fan-zone/) but thriving through them.
