Overview

• Borussia Dortmund completed a loan for Argentina U20 defender Aaron Anselmino from Chelsea and plans to start him on Sunday against Union Berlin in a three-man back line.
• Coach Niko Kovac said Anselmino will cover for the suspended Filippo Mane and backed his readiness despite limited settling-in time.
• Kovac praised the 19-year-old as strong in duels and combative, noting he has very great potential.
• Dortmund remain without injured centre-backs Niklas Süle, Emre Can and Nico Schlotterbeck, while full-back Julian Ryerson has returned to training.
• Kovac offered no update on reported interest in Fabio Silva and played down talk of a Maximilian Beier exit despite claims of a €70 million Brentford offer.
