BERLIN (Reuters) - Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface will be back in the squad for Wednesday's German Cup semi-final against Fortuna Dusseldorf following a three-month injury absence, coach Xabi Alonso said on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old underwent surgery on an adductor muscle injury in January after being injured while preparing with Nigeria for the Africa Cup of Nations.
