Bayer Leverkusen manager, Xabi Alonso has confirmed that Victor Boniface will be included in the squad for their UEFA Champions League tie against Atletico Madrid, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
The 24-year-old Nigerian striker has been sidelined since November with a thigh injury, missing Leverkusen's last 12 games across all competitions.
However, after returning to full training, Boniface is now in line to make his return to action.
"We trained again this morning and then we decided that Victor Boniface can go on the UCL trip to Madrid with the team," Alonso told a press conference.
"He is getting better and better and he will be in the squad tomorrow. This is very positive news for all of us and of course for him. Boni is feeling good and it's great that he is back with us."
Boniface has scored eight goals and provided one assist in 15 appearances for Leverkusen this season.
