Dortmund ace Serhou Guirassy cleared to play in Der Klassiker

Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy has been declared fit ahead of their mouthwatering Bundesliga clash against Bayern Munich on Saturday.

The Guinean international had a bit of a health scare this week as Guirassy sustained an injury that forced him to withdraw from the National Elephants' squad early.

It also plunged his participation in tomorrow's Der Klassiker into doubt, as Dortmund would have been worse off without him for their most important league clash of the season yet.

But on Thursday, all such fears were allayed as Guirassy was cleared to appear for Saturday's clash in Munich. He has reportedly taken part in every training session with Dortmund.

Head coach Niko Kovac may retain him in his starting XI against Bayern as Guirassy's presence up top will be vital in helping Dortmund give their mighty hosts a tough run for their money.

Following a sensational first season at the club, Guirassy has continued in the same vein in the 2025-26 campaign too, as the 29-year-old has netted six times from eight games in all competitions, including four from five in the Bundesliga.

Bayern and Dortmund remain unbeaten in the German top-flight, but the former has a record of six wins from six, having begun their title defense with a bang. So with 18 points in the bag, the Bavarians are currently leading the Bundesliga charts again, with Dortmund in second with 14 points.
