Dortmund's Guirassy Faces Bench Threat as Goal Drought Deepens

Coach Niko Kovač weighs competition from Fábio Silva after a poor outing in Frankfurt.

Overview

  • Serhou Guirassy has gone seven Bundesliga matches without scoring, with his last league goal on October 31.
  • He conceded a penalty in Dortmund’s 3–3 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt and was replaced after 66 minutes by Fábio Silva.
  • Bild, cited by DerWesten, reports Guirassy no longer has a guaranteed starting place as Silva presses his case with lively substitute displays.
  • Lothar Matthäus told Sky90 that Guirassy is not fully there mentally and appears sad, pointing to a confidence issue being central to his slump.
  • DerWesten relays Bild’s claim that a summer exit is considered likely with a reported €50 million European release clause and interest from major clubs and Saudi teams, though his 2028 contract and current form could shape any move.
