Back on bench
Boniface (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's trip to Stuttgart.
Analysis: Boniface is back available on the bench for Sunday's clash with Stuttgart. The forward has been working his way back from a knee issue and has now finally recovered enough to get back in the squad. With the forward back fit he should vie for starting minutes in the closing stages of the campaign.
Closing in on return
Boniface (knee/illness) appears to have overcome a recent infection and is closing in on a return to the squad in upcoming fixtures, according to coach Daniel Thioune.
Analysis: Boniface had been dealing with recurring physical issues alongside the infection that further complicated his comeback from a knee injury that kept him sidelined for four months. Coach Thioune's upbeat assessment after Thursday's session is the most encouraging update yet, with the coach stating he had a good impression of the Nigerian striker on the pitch and that the infection appears to have been overcome. A final decision on his squad inclusion will be made shortly, but the direction is clearly pointing toward an imminent return for a player whose availability would be a significant boost for Bremen in the final stretch of the season.
