Victor Boniface hit by new setback After a long spell on the sidelines, Victor Boniface returned to team training with Werder Bremen at the beginning of this month, but the 25-year-old is still waiting to make his comeback to competitive action. On Saturday, he was left out of the squad that beat Hamburger SV 3-1 due to illness, Werder Bremen head coach Daniel Thioune revealed after the win. โ€œVictor Boniface has had an infection for the past three days, which is why he wasnโ€™t on the pitch today and also didnโ€™t take part yesterday,โ€ Thioune said.

The Bayer Leverkusen loanee hasn't featured for Werder since the start of December. In total, Boniface has made 11 appearances for Werder this season without scoring.
