Serhou Guirassy has left the national team of his home country Guinea ahead of schedule. In Dortmund, there is currently no cause for concern about the striker.
As the Guinean Football Association announced on Friday evening, Guirassy left the African country’s national team for medical reasons and after consultation with the officials in order to return to Borussia Dortmund earlier than originally planned.
The 29-year-old sat on the bench for 90 minutes during the 2-1 win in Mozambique and did not play. According to the Guinean federation’s statement, the striker was already “physically weakened” but traveled to prepare for the game out of love for his home country and wanted to support his teammates above all else.
Guinea, which ends its World Cup qualifying campaign with a match against Botswana on Tuesday, no longer has a chance of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup in North America.
The exact nature of Guirassy’s physical problems is not known. Most recently, the 29-year-old was unable to play in BVB’s 2-0 win in Mainz in September due to thigh problems. A shoulder injury has also hampered the former Stuttgart player recently.
Top match at Bayern
According to kicker, Borussia expects Guirassy (four goals in five Bundesliga games, one each in the cup and Champions League) to return to training on Tuesday. The Westphalians will then begin preparations for Saturday evening’s Bundesliga top match at FC Bayern.
