Media: Werder must continue to wait for diagnosis regarding Boniface - Victor Boniface’s delayed knee exam could end his Werder Bremen loan early

Victor Boniface’s medical examination has faced delays due to severe winter weather. The striker was set to undergo tests to decide whether he needs knee surgery. His loan spell at Werder Bremen could end early if he opts for the procedure and returns to Bayer Leverkusen.

The assessment was originally planned for Thursday in Salzburg. Heavy snowfall in Tyrol forced a last-minute change, moving the appointment to Munich instead. The tests will now take place on Friday.

Doctors have advised surgery for Boniface’s knee issue. However, the player remains unsure about going ahead with the operation. If he agrees to the procedure, his loan at Werder Bremen will conclude, and he will return to Leverkusen for treatment.

The rescheduled examination will determine Boniface’s next steps. A decision on surgery would directly affect his club future. His recovery timeline and playing status depend on the outcome of Friday’s tests.
