Borussia Dortmund striker Serhou Guirassy will be fit for the big Bundesliga match at Bayern Munich next weekend despite leaving the Guinea camp, a club spokesman said on Sunday.

His national team had said he had flown back to Germany in the middle of international duty because he was "physically very weakened."

He had previously complained of a hamstring problem.

That raised fears among Dortmund fans that he would not be available for the top-of-the-table clash on Saturday.

But the club spokesman said his appearance was not in jeopardy and that they were in contact with the 29-year-old, who was taking some rest days.
