Victor Boniface has taken a big step forward in his recovery from the long-term muscle injury he suffered in January.

As reported by Bild, the Bayer 04 Leverkusen striker returned to running training on Tuesday.

"He is on schedule," Leverkusen managing director for sport Simon Rolfes confirmed to the German tabloid.

Boniface, who underwent surgery last month, is expected to make his return in April.

In the first half of the season, he scored 10 goals and provided seven assists in 16 Bundesliga appearances.
