Both Bild and Sky Germany report that injuries are delaying the completion of Serhou Guirassy’s move to Borussia Dortmund.
The issue is said to be a ligament injury that Guirassy picked up when with Guiena at the end of the season. Dortmund will now analyse the injury in further detail next week and seek further advice. It is believed that the injury is not serious and can be treated.
Guirassy will now fly back to Stuttgart and await these further tests as no clarity of the deal will be made this week. It is also reported that after these tests next week, Dortmund will make a decision on whether they want to continue with the transfer of the striker. The 28-year-old also failed his medical when he first moved to Germany in 2016 when he was moving from Lille to 1.FC Koln.
The striker had been struggling with injuries this season, despite his strong performance in front of goal. Guirassy’s form was derailed in the early parts of the season as well as after the Africa Cup of Nations but that did not stop the 28-year-old from scoring 30 goals in 30 games in all competitions.
