Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface has lifted spirits among football fans after sharing a subtle but telling update that suggests his recovery journey has begun at Bayer Leverkusen.
The 25-year-old posted a photo from the Leverkusen gym on Monday, captioned simply, “12:49pm. Leverkusen.” Short, but enough to get fans talking.
That post followed another hint on Sunday, when Boniface shared a photo of himself on the pitch via his X (formerly Twitter) account, accompanied by a hopeful message.
“Work starts tomorrow. Thank you, LORD,” he wrote.
The Nigeria international, who has been sidelined after undergoing knee surgery, has missed action in recent weeks. His latest updates, however, suggest he may have resumed light training as part of his rehabilitation, even though no official return date has been announced.
Fans quickly flooded social media with messages of encouragement, eager for positive news ahead of upcoming club and international fixtures. Boniface also received strong support from his Super Eagles teammates after his surgery during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, where Nigeria went on to claim a bronze medal.
For now, the signs are small—but promising—and they’ve certainly caught everyone’s attention.
