Werder Bremen coach has again hit out on the physical fitness of striker Victor Boniface.
Coach Daniel Thioune first described the Super Eagles striker as “obese” and now he has again raised serious concerns over his fitness as the German Bundesliga season approaches the home stretch.
“The truth is, we assumed that Victor would return to us in better physical condition,” the Bremen coach said.
“In a normal world, we’re still a few days too early. I would therefore rule out Victor getting on the bus to Cologne Saturday.
“Our squad depth in attack is very thin. If a spot opens up, he might travel with us.
“Victor has our and my protection. Therefore, there will be no blame assigned, but I also have to protect our team. A player who isn’t fit to play will not return to the squad.”
Victor Boniface underwent knee surgery in January and was initially thought will not play again this season.
