Snow Forces Delay to Victor Boniface’s Knee Exam in Innsbruck

Team doctors from both clubs recommend surgery that would sideline him for the season.

Overview

  • The appointment with knee specialist Prof. Dr. Christian Fink was pushed to Friday after Thursday’s session was canceled.
  • Heavy snowfall diverted Boniface’s flight to Munich, preventing him from reaching Innsbruck on time.
  • Medical staffs at Werder Bremen and Bayer Leverkusen have coordinated and advised that he undergo an operation.
  • If he opts for surgery, he would miss the remainder of the season and complete rehabilitation under Bayer’s medical team in Leverkusen.
  • If he declines surgery, his knee issues would still keep him from making further appearances for Werder, with club leaders awaiting Friday’s assessment to set the plan.
