According to German, publication, BILD, Bayer Leverkusen doctors have recommended surgery for the player.
Boniface sustained the injury in training at the start of December. It was initially considered a minor injury, but the pain is not subsiding.
Bayer’s sporting director, Simon Rolfes, and his Bremen counterpart, Clemens Fritz want to agree on a joint approach before Christmas.
Boniface, who has suffered two cruciate ligament tears in the past, will likely miss the rest of the season with another operation.
