Clearly, it was a contrasting afternoon that Serhou Guirassy experienced. Traveling to Union Berlin on the pitch of the Stadion An der Alten Försterei in the German capital, Stuttgart has the opportunity to regain its throne as leader of the Bundesliga, stolen by Borussia Dortmund on Friday evening by beating Werder Bremen (1 -0). The VfB once again relied on its Guinean international striker, scoring for the 14th time of the season (after only 8 matches played) with a helmet hit following a cross from former Toulouse player Anthony Rouault (14th).
Nevertheless, the Syli national scorer (8 caps, 2 goals) had to leave his teammates after half an hour of play. Hit in the calf following contact with an opposing defender in the 26th minute, the native of Arles had first left the green rectangle to be taken care of by the medical staff. But the physical problem seemed more serious than a simple contact, forcing him to be replaced a few minutes later by the Turk Deniz Undav. A hard blow for the Swabians, who return to the locker room with the advantage in the score (1-0), but who lose the first player to score 14 goals in just 8 days of the championship across the Rhine.
