Overview

• Borussia Dortmund confirmed the loan of Aaron Anselmino from Chelsea until June 30, 2026.
• Lars Ricken and Sebastian Kehl said the move was required to cover defensive absences caused by injuries.
• Anselmino was presented by the club, assigned shirt number 28, and could be in the squad against Union Berlin this weekend.
• The Argentine logged only two senior minutes for Chelsea plus 62 minutes with the club's U21 side after joining from Boca Juniors in 2024.
• Dortmund's need follows setbacks to Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck and Niklas Süle, and comes shortly after the club paid €20 million to Chelsea for Carney Chukwuemeka.
