Guirassy fit again? BVB squad to face Freiburg | OneFootball

Before the home game against SC Freiburg, BVB can count on having Serhou Guirassy in the squad. However, it remains unclear whether the striker will also start.

There is cautious relief at Borussia Dortmund just in time for Sunday’s home game (5:30 p.m.) against SC Freiburg: top striker Serhou Guirassy is apparently in the squad. After the forward suffered a concussion in the recent defeat against TSG Hoffenheim, his availability had long been in doubt.

As Ruhr Nachrichten report, the goalscorer traveled with the team to the hotel. Whether he will also start remains open. If Guirassy is not in the starting lineup, new signing Fábio Silva could initially be on the bench. One thing is clear: with 14 goals this season, Guirassy is Dortmund’s most prolific scorer and a key factor in their attacking play.

Alongside the Guirassy situation, coach Niko Kovac still has to cope with several absences. Emre Can and Felix Nmecha are among those sidelined with long-term injuries, while Karim Adeyemi and Niklas Süle are also unavailable. In return, several youngsters are coming into focus: Mathis Albert, Luca Reggiani, Samuele Inacio, and Filippo Mane are all included in the squad and could hope for some playing time.

BVB with a strong record against Freiburg

From a sporting perspective, BVB are under pressure after two recent defeats. Their lead over the competition has shrunk in the table, meaning the Black and Yellows are once again being tested in the race for second place. Nevertheless, the record clearly favors Dortmund: they have won each of their last seven home games against SC Freiburg.

Looking at the table, BVB also have a big opportunity: another win could already secure qualification for the UEFA Champions League. The prerequisite, however, is that Dortmund get back on track — ideally with a fit Guirassy leading the line.

The BVB squad against Freiburg:

Kobel, Meyer – Schlotterbeck, Anton, Reggiani, Mane, Svensson, Bensebaini, Ryerson, Couto, Bellingham, Chukwuemeka, Sabitzer, Özcan, Brandt, Albert, Beier, Guirassy, Silva, Inacio.
