Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso has given the latest update on Victor Boniface, who is nursing a thigh injury.
The striker suffered the thigh injury on Super Eagles duty against Rwanda in Uyo last month.
Alonso said Victor Boniface recovery is on track even though it is still early to say when he will return to action.

There have been fears that ‘Boni’ will not play again this year on account of this latest injury setback.
