Guirassy likely fit to play in Turin, Stuttgart striker expected to feature | OneFootball

When the ZDF sports studio reported a shoulder bruise for Serhou Guirassy on Saturday evening, who had repeatedly clutched his apparently painful joint during the 2-0 victory at 1. FC Heidenheim, nervousness grew around Borussia Dortmund. After all, the not-so-easy Champions League opener at Juventus Turin is already on the agenda for Tuesday, and of course, BVB would very much prefer not to be without the striker there.

Currently, however, it looks like there is an all-clear, as Guirassy was able to participate normally in the regeneration training on Sunday, according to a report by "Bild." The Dortmund plan is clearly to travel to Italy with Guirassy today, Monday.

Final training brings clarity

Final clarity should prevail when coach Niko Kovac calls for the last session before departure at 1:30 PM at the training ground in Brackel. If Guirassy, who took a hit to the shoulder in Heidenheim, is present, there should be little standing in the way of the trip and his participation in Turin.

If, contrary to expectations, it is not enough, Kovac would have to reorganize the attack and choose a lineup without a classic center forward, as newcomer Fabio Silva is not yet ready for action. Karim Adeyemi and Maximilian Beier as a strike duo would then be an obvious option, possibly supported by the now fit Julian Brandt.
