De Sky: Gilasi left the national team early for personal training and is expected to play against Bayern
De Sky reported that as the national derby between Bayern Munich and Dortmund is about to start, both teams are facing injuries to their core strikers. For Bayern, Kane missed England's game against Wales due to an ankle injury, and his availability for the weekend league is still questionable. Dortmund fans are also worried: Will their top scorer Gilasi also miss this focus game?
According to official confirmation from the Guinea Football Association, Gilasi has "approved by the coaching staff" to leave the national team early and return to Dortmund. The statement pointed out that the forward was "severely unwell" and that his reporting to the national team was purely "out of love for Guinea and respect for the coaching staff." The 29-year-old forward was on the bench for the entire 90 minutes of Guinea's 2-1 win over Mozambique and will also miss Tuesday's World Cup qualifier against Botswana.
However, according to the latest news from Sky Sports, there is no obstacle for Gilasi to play in Bayern's peak matchup against Dortmund. Although he was temporarily absent against Mainz before, he subsequently returned to the starting lineup in the Champions League match against Athletic Bilbao and the Bundesliga match against Leipzig.
According to Sky Sports, Gilasi has reached an agreement with Dortmund to leave the team early this time. Gilasi will go to France to reunite with his family and maintain his condition through private training. He is expected to return to Dortmund on Tuesday. So far this season, Gilasi has contributed 6 goals and 3 assists in 8 official games.
