Dortmund suffer Guirassy blow ahead of Klassiker meeting with Bayern - Soccer News
"So far this calendar year, Guirassy has scored 32 goals in 39 games across all competitions, with only Kylian Mbappe (44 goals) and Harry Kane (39) netting more often among all players from Europe's top five leagues. No player has had chances with a greater cumulative expected goals (xG) value than Guirassy (34.82) in that same span, while he has a shot conversion rate of 25% and has averaged a goal every 102 minutes."
"Guirassy has scored four goals in five Bundesliga outings this campaign, with Dortmund taking 14 points from six matches to sit second in the table, four points behind Bayern. The striker recently missed Dortmund's meeting with Mainz due to a thigh problem, though he returned with a goal in a 4-1 Champions League triumph over Athletic Bilbao before playing 81 minutes in a 1-1 draw with RB Leipzig."
"Diminished physically, Guirassy held on out of love for Guinea and out of respect for the technical staff, to come to the regrouping of the national team in Mozambique. The player had also expressed to the staff his wish to support his team-mates through his presence, if only for one match, before returning to the club. The Guinean Football Federation, the staff, his team-mates and the sporting public wish Guirassy a speedy recovery and hope to see him again as soon as possible."
Serhou Guirassy's thigh injury resurfaced while with Guinea, prompting his return to Germany with permission from the national technical staff. He has scored four goals in five Bundesliga appearances this season as Dortmund sit second with 14 points from six matches, four behind Bayern. The striker missed the Mainz game, scored in a 4-1 Champions League win over Athletic Bilbao, and played 81 minutes in a 1-1 draw with RB Leipzig. He has 32 goals in 39 games this calendar year, leads cumulative xG (34.82), has a 25% shot conversion rate and averages a goal every 102 minutes. Guinea named him an unused substitute in a 1-1 draw with Mozambique.
