Fabio Silva is among the candidates to replace him in the central attacking role against Elversberg.

Niko Kovac waited to see whether he could continue, and Guirassy tried to carry on before he was replaced with the score at 0-0. He is likely to undergo tests to determine the extent of the injury, and it would be a huge blow for Dortmund if he misses time, as he is their top scorer with eight goals and two assists in 14 appearances across all competitions.
