Back in the fold after scare

Anselmino (undisclosed) is available for Monday's season opener against Fulham, according to coach Xabi Alonso. "With the other players, let's see. We will check and assess them, but for sure because of the World Cup they came back a little bit later and will need a little more time, but they are all available and can be selected in the line-up against Fulham, for sure."

Analysis: Anselmino was forced off in tears during a preseason friendly against Johor Darul Ta'zim, the latest in a string of hamstring problems that have followed him since his move from Boca Juniors in 2024, including a disrupted loan spell split between Dortmund and Strasbourg. Clearing this scare and being deemed fit for the opener marks a rare bit of good injury news for the young defender as he looks to finally settle into a groove at Chelsea.

Returns to Chelsea

Anselmino (hamstring) has returned to Chelsea from his loan with Strasbourg.

Analysis: Anselmino is back with his parent club after a season on loan, serving between Dortmund and Strasbourg. It was not an ideal season for the defender, as he dealt with numerous injuries that led to fewer minutes, earning six appearances with Dortmund and only three with Strasbourg, ending his time in France without earning a start due to constant injury issues. The future likely holds another loan for the defender as he tries to rid his injury issues and build more experience in the top levels. He could very well return to Chelsea's sister club, Strasbourg, although the club could view other options, looking to have him on a European team that will give him regular minutes.
