Guirassy Returns to Starting Lineup for Wolfsburg’s Bundesliga Clash Against Hoffenheim

WOLFSBURG, GERMANY – Serhou Guirassy is back in the starting eleven for VfL Wolfsburg as they take on TSG Hoffenheim in today’s Bundesliga match. The club confirmed the striker’s return after he was surprisingly benched in the recent DFB Pokal defeat against Bayer Leverkusen, where Fábio Silva led the attack.

Guirassy, who entered the Leverkusen match as a substitute in the 67th minute, was unable to prevent his team from falling to a 1-0 loss. The week prior, the striker sparked controversy after appearing to refuse a handshake with coach Niko Kovac following his substitution.

However, Kovac has downplayed the incident, stating, “I understand that a player doesn’t always want to come off. But Serhou and I are as thick as thieves. Everything is fine again. We sorted it out after the game.”

The return of Guirassy, who is a key player for Wolfsburg, will be a welcome boost as they seek to secure a vital victory against Hoffenheim.
