Two centre-backs injured – BVB sweat over Anton and Anselmino | OneFootball

On Wednesday evening, Borussia Dortmund not only unnecessarily dropped two potentially painful points in the Champions League against FK Bodø/Glimt, but also lost two defenders, Waldemar Anton and Aaron Anselmino, to injuries during the match. How severe the injuries are for the duo is currently unknown.

First, Anton had to leave the field after 33 minutes when the 29-year-old injured his right thigh during a sprint. Then, in the 74th minute, Anselmino, who had formed the back three from the start alongside Anton and Nico Schlotterbeck, was also down on the pitch with issues in the back thigh muscles. The Argentine could not continue either.

Niklas Süle at least back in the squad

No diagnosis is known for either player yet, but missing the last two games of the year on Sunday at SC Freiburg and then at home against Borussia Mönchengladbach is not currently ruled out.

If both are out, a back three with Emre Can and Ramy Bensebaini alongside Schlotterbeck, as seen in the final phase on Wednesday evening, is conceivable. Niklas Süle, who was at least able to take a seat on the bench against Bodø/Glimt after recovering from a toe injury, would be another option. However, the 30-year-old has not been in action since October 28, following the second-round success in the DFB-Pokal at Eintracht Frankfurt.
