Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface has been ruled out of the current season after his club Werder Bremen confirmed that the Nigerian International is set to undergo knee surgery. The 25-year-old has played 11 times for Bremen this season after joining on loan from Bayer Leverkusen but failed to register a goal. He missed the final two fixtures of 2025 with the issue preventing him from training, while it also ruled him out of Nigerias squad for the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. After visiting a specialist in Austria, Werder has now confirmed that the striker will have surgery and therefore be out of action for several months. We are happy that we now have a solution to let Victor perform a surgery. There is clarity for all parties,Werder Bremen doctor Peter Niemeyer said. Due to the rehabilitation process, we no longer assume that Victor will still be available for Werder this season. The club also said his loan deal until the end of 2025/26 will not be cut short, while Leverkusens club doctors were also involved in the decision. Boniface scored 22 goals over 42 Bundesliga appearances for the Werkself, including 14 in their 2023/24 title-winning season..
