Serhou Guirassy Withdraws in Warm-Up for Dortmund at Mainz as Julian Brandt Steps In

His late withdrawal followed a thigh contusion from last week that the coach had described as a temporary knock.

Overview

  • Borussia Dortmund’s leading scorer left the pre-match warm-up with thigh pain and returned to the dressing room.
  • He had been listed in the starting XI shortly before kickoff before the change was made.
  • Julian Brandt was moved into the starting lineup to replace him.
  • Guirassy had been managing a thigh contusion since the previous week’s win over Wolfsburg.
  • Head coach Niko Kovac said Thursday he expected the issue to clear in time for the weekend.
