Borussia Dortmund head coach Niko Kovac is keeping his fingers crossed that striker Serhou Guirassy has avoided a serious injury after limping off during Wednesday night's 2-1 Champions League victory over Real Betis. The forward sustained a first-half thigh problem as the German hosts halted the Spanish visitors' perfect European record.
Borussia Dortmund's head coach Niko Kovac expressed hope that striker Serhou Guirassy did not sustain a serious injury after limping off during Wednesday night's 2-1 Champions League victory against Real Betis. The German team halted Real Betis' perfect European record with the win. Guirassy sustained a thigh issue in the first half, which led to his early substitution.
The Dutch coach monitored his striker's condition and later stated that he "felt something in his thigh." Kovac is optimistic that the injury is not more severe than a muscle strain. Guirassy will need to undergo tests to determine the extent of his injury, which could affect his availability for Dortmund's upcoming Bundesliga match against SV Elversberg and the subsequent international break.
