Leverkusen to make late decision on Boniface availability against Werder

Victor Boniface could return to Bayer Leverkusen's squad to face Werder Bremen, with the German champions set to make a late decision on his availability.

Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface was involved in a car accident on Sunday, suffering minor injuries to his hand and foot. 

He has been recovering well and, after missing Wednesday's Champions League trip to Brest, could be back in the squad to face Werder Bremen on Saturday evening, with a final decision on his availability to be made late on Friday. 

“We will decide after training today. He had a few days to put it behind him. I saw him yesterday and said he felt better,” Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso said at a press conference on Friday, according to Reuters. 

“We will wait. If he feels better, then he will travel with us to Bremen. Today is training and the last test."

Boniface has found the net five times in the Bundesliga this season.
