Nigeria forward Victor Boniface has made a return to full training at Bayer Leverkusen after a three-month injury lay-off.
Boniface sustained an adductor injury at the beginning of the year, which required surgery.
The 23-year-old was forced to miss the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations due to the injury.
The Nigeria international was earlier scheduled to return to action in April.
Boniface is now in line to feature for Bayer Leverkusen against TSG Hoffenheim this weekend.
The striker is Die Werkself’s top scorer this season with 16 goals and eight assists in 23 games across all competitions.
He joined Leverkusen from Belgian Pro League outfit, Union St Gilloise last summer.
