No decision yet – Chelsea consider ending Anselmino loan | OneFootball

At Borussia Dortmund's training camp in Marbella, Aarón Anselmino is present, but due to his muscular issues, he is still not really fit and therefore not an option for the start of the second half of the season on Friday against Eintracht Frankfurt. Meanwhile, the scenario that Anselmino might not play for BVB anymore is still not ruled out, as FC Chelsea could make use of a recall option.

BVB's sporting director Sebastian Kehl confirmed at the beginning of the week the existence of a clause that allows Chelsea to prematurely end the loan of the Argentine center-back to Dortmund throughout January. However, Kehl also emphasized to Sky that he considers this option to be rather impractical: "I believe it makes sense for all parties involved for Aaron to play for Borussia Dortmund in the second half of the season, to help us, himself, and ultimately Chelsea as well."

Chelsea's New Coach Decides

Nevertheless, according to information from Sky, FC Chelsea has not yet made a decision on whether the clause will be activated. Many personnel decisions at the Blues are currently in limbo following the unexpected departure of coach Enzo Maresca.

Regarding Anselmino, the new coach, who is expected to be Liam Rosenior, will significantly influence the decision. Rosenior is reportedly on the verge of moving from Racing Strasbourg to Stamford Bridge. It is possible that clarity on this matter will be achieved very soon, and BVB will then know definitively whether Anselmino can be counted on for the remainder of the season.
