Struggling Dortmund: Borussia Dortmund's current season has been marked by turmoil, with a string of losses, mounting pressure on head coach Nuri Sahin, and persistent injuries impacting team morale and consistency. However, amidst this challenging period, Serhou Guirassy's nomination as one of the ten candidates for Africa's Footballer of the Year has emerged as a rare bright spot.

The Guinea international's strong form contrasts sharply with Dortmund's struggles, making him a standout figure in an otherwise unsteady squad, reports Xinhua.

Sahin's tenure, barely a few months old, is already under scrutiny following three consecutive defeats and an early exit from the German Cup. While sporting director Sebastian Kehl has expressed support for Sahin, both recognise that a victory is essential in the critical upcoming Bundesliga match against RB Leipzig.
