Overview

• The 20-year-old centre-back from Chelsea picked up a fresh muscular setback during build-up training after earlier issues in September, according to BILD.
• He will miss the Champions League game against Athletic Bilbao and the Bundesliga match versus RB Leipzig, per multiple reports.
• Head coach Niko Kovač said Anselmino remains only partially integrated in training and not fully match-ready, with his workload being scaled back.
• Anselmino impressed on debut in the 3–0 win over Union Berlin but repeated injuries have interrupted his integration and availability.
• With Nico Schlotterbeck and Niklas Süle returning to fitness and no buy option in the loan, a permanent transfer appears increasingly unlikely given his history of muscle problems at Chelsea and Boca Juniors.
