Serhou Guirassy picks up a knock, returns early from national team duty | OneFootball

A week before the Bundesliga showdown at FC Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund may have to worry about Serhou Guirassy. The striker left Guinea’s national team camp early and without playing on Friday. The exact reasons are still unclear.

According to the Guinean Football Federation, Guirassy left the national team camp the day after the 2-1 win in Mozambique in agreement with the federation’s leadership. The 29-year-old, who the federation said was not fully fit upon arrival, watched his teammates’ victory only as a spectator but was determined to be there “out of love for Guinea and respect for the coaching staff.”

Likely still dealing with a thigh issue

With Guinea’s World Cup qualification hopes definitively dashed due to Uganda’s simultaneous win in Botswana, Guirassy is now turning his full focus to BVB. Whether coach Niko Kovac will be able to rely on his center-forward in Munich remains to be seen.

The Guinean federation did not provide further details, but Guirassy may still be troubled by the thigh problems that already prevented a late-notice appearance in the away match at 1. FSV Mainz 05 (2-0) the weekend before last. He did return to the starting lineup against Athletic Bilbao (4-1) and RB Leipzig (1-1), but especially against the Red Bulls he looked short of full fitness and was substituted ten minutes from time after a mixed display.
