Bayer Leverkusen manager, Xabi Alonso says Victor Boniface is in line to start the club’s UEFA Europa League clash against West Ham United.
The Bundesliga leaders will host the Hammers in the first leg at the BayArena on Thursday.
Boniface was sidelined for around three months after sustaining an adductor injury in January.
The 24-year-old returned to action in Die Werkself’s DFB Pokal win against Fortuna Dusseldorf last week.
