Kovač rests Guirassy, Bensebaini for Klassiker

Niko Kovač has given Serhou Guirassy and Ramy Bensebaini a rest for the Bundesliga 'Klassiker' against Bayern Munich due to Ramadan fasting.

Dortmund coach Niko Kovaç explained that Guirassy and Bensebaini have been fasting for two weeks during Ramadan, with the team playing four games in that period. Instead, Schlotterbeck and Silva started in their place. The rested players could still impact the match from the bench against Bayern Munich.
