“He’s making progress in his rehab, which is encouraging, but it’s still impossible to predict when he’ll be fully fit,” Niemeyer told DeichStube.
“Given the rehabilitation process, we don’t expect Victor to play for Werder again this season.”
Boniface, 25, joined Bremen on a season-long loan from Bayer Leverkusen, contributing two assists in 11 league appearances.
