Werder Bremen head coach Horst Steffen has backed Victor Boniface to rediscover his best form despite the forward’s slow start at the club.

Boniface linked up with the Greens on a season-long loan from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer.

The Nigeria international is still searching for his first goal for Bremen after 10 outings.

The 24-year-old has registered just one assist at the Weserstadion.

Boniface failed to make much impact in Bremen’s 1-1 home draw against Cologne last weekend.

Steffen however refused to blame the striker following another frustrating outing.

“We don’t need to constantly evaluate individual players,” Steffen told Deichstube.

“Maybe a goal will help him become even stronger.”
