Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso has acknowledged that he can utilise the strike partnership with Patrik Schick and Victor Boniface.
Boniface played a key role in Leverkusen’s quarterfinal win against Koln in the DFB Pokal yesterday.
Bayer Leverkusen were behind 2-1 when the Super Eagles star entered the game in the 76th minute, joining Schick in attack.
Eventually, both players scored to give Die Werkself a 3-2 victory, with Boniface’s presence proving the manager’s substitution was spot on.

When asked if he would entertain the idea of Boniface and Schick working together in an attack, Alonso said that he is open to making it happen.
Boniface scored the winner against Koln.
According to Die Werkself, he said, “Yes, that’s an option. We decide what we need every game, and if we think they can link up and understand what the team needs, it’s an option.”
This season, Boniface has produced some good numbers despite being hit with injury this season.
