BILD: Guirassy's fitness concerns could gift Silva first BVB start

BILD suggest the Guinean marksman is still suffering with a knock and Fábio Silva could pounce on the opportunity to start.

Although he won his side a penalty in against Copenhagen, Tuesday's 4-2 win proved to be another goalless outing for Serhou Guirassy.

Sport BILD are now speculating that his scoring drought - 1 goal in his last 6 games - has been caused by ill-health.

Ahead of their clash with Mainz three weeks ago, Guirassy who was set to start, pulled up clutching his thigh and was benched.

Germany's popular tabloid senses that the Guinean is still suffering from that knock “for weeks” and thus his influence has dropped. 

Meanwhile, summer signing Fabio Silva is preparing to challenge Guirassy for his starting place and could lead the line against 1.FC Köln.

The Portuguese, who came from Wolves for €22.5million, promoted himself with his first goal for BVB in the 4-2 win in Copenhagen.
