Aaron Anselmino
21-Year-Old
Chelsea
Premier
Trains fully at Cobham
Anselmino (hamstring) trained at Cobham last week as Chelsea's preparations continued ahead of the club's preseason tour starting late this week, according to the club.
ANALYSIS
Anselmino's involvement in the high intensity session is a positive sign after a difficult loan spell split between Dortmund and Strasbourg last season, during which persistent injury issues limited him to just six appearances at Dortmund and three at Strasbourg without earning a start. His participation in training suggests he has put those fitness setbacks behind him, and his path forward, whether at Chelsea or out on loan again, will be one to track as preseason progresses.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could move permanently to Dortmund
Dortmund are open to signing Anselmino to a permanent, multi-year contract if he impresses during his loan spell, according to Bild.
ANALYSIS
Anselmino isn't expected to have a clear path to playing time with Chelsea once he returns to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2026. However, Dortmund could use another defender to bolster their depth, and Anselmino fits the mold of what Dortmund do in terms of signing. Expect the Bundesliga giants to make at least a minor move to sign the 20-year-old.
