Guinea’s Serhou Guirassy provided a reassuring update on his physical condition during a press conference on Saturday. The Stuttgart striker, who initially missed the start of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) due to injury, expressed optimism about his recovery.
Guirassy’s return to the pitch occurred on the final day of the group stage, marking a significant comeback for the center forward. Although the return was marked by a 2-0 defeat against Senegal, Guinea secured qualification for the round of 16.
As they prepare for the knockout phase, Guirassy emphasized his improved physical state after overcoming the muscle injury that initially sidelined him.
During the press conference, Guirassy shared his perspective on the recovery process, stating, “Today I feel much better. It’s never, let’s say, easy to return directly to 100% after a muscle injury.
Already I am very happy that I have not relapsed; it is important.”
The striker’s remarks provide a positive outlook for Guinea as they gear up to face Equatorial Guinea on Sunday at 5 p.m. GMT, with the match set to take place at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium in Ebimpé. Guirassy’s return to peak physical form adds depth and strength to the Guinean squad, enhancing their prospects in the crucial knockout fixture.
The clash promises to be a riveting showdown, with both teams vying for advancement in the AFCON tournament.
