Shoulder worries for top scorer – BVB concerned about Serhou Guirassy | OneFootball

Only two full days remain for Borussia Dortmund after the 2-0 victory on Saturday afternoon and before the opening match in the Champions League on Tuesday evening against Juventus Turin. And possibly still enough time for two players missing in Ostalb to return to the squad. However, there are concerns about striker Serhou Guirassy.

While Fabio Silva is at least undergoing individual training and thus continues to work towards his comeback, which is not expected in the short term, Aaron Anselmino and Julian Brandt, who were sidelined at short notice for the game in Heidenheim, are expected to travel to Italy and be available for action on Tuesday in Turin, according to the "Ruhr Nachrichten".

No classic center forward available as an alternative

A small question mark, however, hangs over the participation of Serhou Guirassy, who apparently is troubled by shoulder problems. During the match in Heidenheim, Guirassy repeatedly grabbed his shoulder, and subsequently, the ZDF Sports Studio reported a bruise. According to information from the "WAZ", there is no precise diagnosis yet. However, the paper reports that BVB currently considers the injury not to be serious and does not expect the goal scorer to be unavailable.

If Guirassy has to sit out, coach Niko Kovac would be forced to improvise in the absence of Silva, who was actually signed as a backup. Maximilian Beier and Karim Adeyemi, who played behind Guirassy in Heidenheim, could form a double strike partnership, with Brandt behind them as a number ten. A classic center forward as a one-to-one replacement for Guirassy would no longer be available.
