Niko Kovač, the coach of Borussia Dortmund, has publicly backed Fabio Silva, who has been integrating into the team after a slow start. Kovač highlighted Silva's recent improvements in training and noted that his increased playing time is crucial for his development. Although Silva has not scored many goals yet, Kovač believes that as he gains more minutes on the pitch, his scoring opportunities will increase. The coach emphasized the importance of patience in player development, stating, "He’s working his way up." Previously, there were concerns about Silva's future at the club after just six months, but Kovač's recent comments suggest that he is not under threat of being sold. Instead, it appears that Serhou Guirassy may be the player facing a potential exit from Borussia Dortmund at the end of the season.
