Setback in recovery training – Aarón Anselmino sidelined for longer | OneFootball

Recently, the injury list has significantly cleared up with the comebacks of Nico Schlotterbeck and Fabio Silva, but Borussia Dortmund will still have to do without another player in the upcoming matches. Center-back Aarón Anselmino, who made his first and so far only appearance in the black and yellow jersey on August 31st in the 3-0 victory against 1. FC Union Berlin, will not be available to coach Niko Kovac before the international break.

Anselmino, who was thrown straight into the deep end against Union Berlin just days after his loan from Chelsea FC due to a tense personnel situation in defense and performed very well, has been struggling with muscular problems for several weeks, which have so far prevented a second appearance. According to a report from “Bild,” after suffering a first setback during a sprint in training in the September international break—when the 20-year-old Argentine was actually supposed to be further integrated—a second setback has now occurred during rehab training, according to the tabloid.

Anselmino already prone to injuries in the past

No details are known yet, but Anselmino will not be an option before the next international break, neither on Wednesday in the Champions League against Athletic Bilbao nor on Saturday afternoon in the top match against RB Leipzig.

It remains to be seen when the defender will once again be a fully viable alternative. With regard to a possible extension beyond the current season, the past few weeks have not exactly been a recommendation. Rather, his now weeks-long absence fuels doubts about Anselmino’s stability, as he has repeatedly been unavailable due to muscle injuries over the past two years. After arriving from Boca Juniors in January, Anselmino managed only one appearance for Chelsea’s reserve team and a substitute appearance at the Club World Cup in June.
