1 goal in the last 6 games! Body chart: Gilasi’s Dortmund starting position is in doubt, and F-Silva may replace him

"Sports Bild" revealed that due to the recent sharp decline in scoring efficiency, Gilasi's position as Dortmund's main center is not guaranteed.

The media pointed out that Gilasi is under pressure, and there is about to be surprising competition in Dortmund's front line: Cerro Gilasi (29 years old), the previously undisputed goal guarantee, suddenly needs to worry about his main position.

New aid Fabio Silva (transferred from Wolves in the summer window for 22.5 million euros) caused huge waves. The Portuguese player impressed in all his substitute appearances and scored his first goal for Dortmund in the 4-2 win over Copenhagen.

The situation for Gilasi is completely different: he has only scored one goal in the past six games. An anomaly for Dortmund's goal-scoring machine - but it's easy to see why.

According to Bild, the forward is still troubled by a thigh injury, which has affected his performance for several weeks. He could barely stop the ball and showed a lack of confidence. A short break might do him good - and help him regain full health.

The Portuguese Silva is currently just the opposite: full of energy, active running, and excellent technique. Each of his five substitute appearances injected energy into the game. His huge advantage is that he never loses the ball easily, is disciplined on the defensive end, and perfectly fits the tactical system of Niko Kovac (54 years old).

Kovac said: "He works very hard in training, his technical movements are precise and neat, and he is very team spirit. Fabio is continuing to improve. I try to give him more playing time, because he really deserves such an opportunity."

In this Saturday night's game against Cologne, Fabio Silva may get the chance to start for the first time - and Gilasi does face the worry of being on the bench.
