  ​Victor Boniface is facing harsh criticism from club legend Max Kruse regarding his physical condition.

  The 25-year-old, currently on loan at Werder Bremen, recently resumed training after a serious knee injury but appears out of shape.

  Kruse questioned the striker’s dedication on the Flatterball podcast, stating: “I think he’s already given up on his career. He actually still has his best years ahead of him.”

  ​Werder coach Daniel Thioune remains hopeful Boniface can contribute to the club’s relegation battle, though he is expected to miss the upcoming clash with RB Leipzig.

  Kruse warned that shedding “10 to 15 kilos” through training alone is unrealistic for a professional.
