A shadow of concern has fallen over Borussia Dortmund as news arrives from the Guinea national team camp. Their prolific striker, Serhou Guirassy, has been forced into an early and unwelcome departure, cutting short his international duties after an old injury flared up once more.

The 29-year-old has already made his way back to Germany, his immediate future hinging on the results of a thorough medical examination. All hopes at the club are now pinned on a swift recovery, with the monumental Bundesliga clash against arch-rivals Bayern Munich looming on the horizon next week.

Fatefully, Guirassy never took to the pitch in Guinea's recent 2-1 victory over Mozambique, a spectator from the bench. This setback appears to be a recurrence of the same thigh issue that previously sidelined him for Dortmund's league encounter with Mainz. The problem, seemingly unresolved, has chosen an inconvenient moment to resurface.

The injury is particularly untimely for the national side, as their World Cup qualifying campaign has already reached a dead end, with the team languishing in fourth place in their group. Guinea's final qualifier against Botswana on October 14th now seems a distant concern for the striker, whose focus has sharply shifted to regaining fitness for the titanic battle awaiting him back in Dortmund.
