As announced by the club’s official X handle, Bayer Leverkusen forward, Victor Boniface, was the first player to report for their pre-season training ahead of the 2026/27 campaign, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Boniface returned to his parent club after spending the off-season in Nigeria, following a loan spell at Werder Bremen.
“No time to waste! Na Victor carry first report for training. Welcome back, Boniface,” the club posted on X on Thursday.
After undergoing fitness assessments at the club’s training facilities, the Nigerian striker will join his teammates for their pre-season training camp in Blankenhain, near Erfurt, Germany, from August 1 to 7.
Boniface enjoyed a sensational debut season after joining Bayer Leverkusen from Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise in the summer of 2023. He scored 21 goals and provided nine assists in 34 appearances, helping Xabi Alonso’s side secure their first Bundesliga title without losing a match.
