The club shared four of those images, asking fans to vote for the picture of the day. His image of striker Patrick Schick and goalkeeper Matej Kovar was voted the best.
Die Werkself won their first pre-season game 2-1 against Essen. They will play RC Lens, Arsenal and Real Betis in the first 10 days of August, ahead of the DFB Super Cup final against Stuttgart on August 17.
The League and Cup double winners will face the runners-up of the Bundesliga in the season's curtain raiser at their home stadium, the Bay Arena.
Boniface hustles for daily 2k
Legit.ng reported that Boniface hustled for daily 2k as he funnily claimed Nigeria’s deep economic crisis had hit him, and Bayer Leverkusen had yet to pay his salary.
He shared photos of himself pushing a wheelbarrow with a funny caption. It was later confirmed that it was during the club's year Helps Day at a local daycare centre.
