Serhou Guirassy injury update Borussia Dortmund, Digi Mart USA News: The situation surrounding Serhou Guirassy is now clear. The 30-year-old Dortmund striker had to be substituted with an injury during the Champions League match against Real Betis, which ended 2-1.
Guirassy will miss Dortmund’s next game against Elversberg and is also expected not to travel with his national team. Coach Niko Kovac said at his press conference that Guirassy has a muscle strain and will not be able to play the next day.
Kovac said the club is in discussions with the German football federation and that Guirassy is likely not to travel, a decision still to be finalized. He added that the club hopes Guirassy will be fit after the international break, though the exact timing remains uncertain.
The break gives Guirassy time to recover from the injury, which would be a significant boost for Dortmund. The striker remains the clear first choice in attack.
There was also positive news for the club, as Marcel Sabitzer has recovered from an illness and is available to Kovac again.
Maximilian Beier, 24, was not nominated for the German national team. Kovac said it was disappointing for the player and that he had hoped Beier would have been included.
He expressed confidence that Beier will receive his chance.
For Beier, the focus now is on responding on the pitch for Borussia Dortmund.
