Aaron Anselmino
20-Year-Old
Borussia Dortmund
Bundesliga
OUT
Injury Undisclosed
Est. Return 1/13/2026
Still unavailable
Anselmino (undisclosed) has trained individually and is not ready to be used in the weekend's matchup versus Frankfurt, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Anselmino will now miss a third consecutive game due to the injury, and will continue to work towards a return to full training. The defender was an interesting contributor in a four-game span between November and December, racking up one goal and an assist in addition to various defensive stats, so this issue limits the team's ability in both boxes. However, they'll likely be boosted by the return of Waldemar Anton, who could cover some of Anselmino's tasks.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could move permanently to Dortmund
Dortmund are open to signing Anselmino to a permanent, multi-year contract if he impresses during his loan spell, according to Bild.
ANALYSIS
Anselmino isn't expected to have a clear path to playing time with Chelsea once he returns to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2026. However, Dortmund could use another defender to bolster their depth, and Anselmino fits the mold of what Dortmund do in terms of signing. Expect the Bundesliga giants to make at least a minor move to sign the 20-year-old.
