Waldemar Anton - Could miss several weeks Anton (hamstring) could miss several weeks after suffering an injury in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Glimt in the Champions League, according to BILD.

Impact Anton held his hamstring before being forced off in Wednesday's Champions League clash against Glimt, and a muscle fiber tearing is feared for the center-back. If that injury is confirmed after the scans he will likely undergo in the coming hours, Anton will likely miss several weeks and return early January to competition. Ramy Bensebaini will get a larger role in the back-three while Anton is sidelined.

Aaron Anselmino - Set for sidelines Anselmino (undisclosed) suffered a muscular injury in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Glimt in the Champions League and is set to miss some time on the sidelines, according to BILD.

Impact Anselmino could miss several weeks after suffering a muscular injury in Wednesday's Champions League clash against Glimt since he was spotted leaving the locker room limping badly after the final whistle and dragged himself back to his car. The center-back has been a regular starter in the backline for Dortmund this season, therefore his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Emre Can and Niklas Sule as the main options to replace him.

Impact Anton is struggling with an apparent injury and had to be brought off. He was holding his hamstring before Daniel Svensson came on to replace him.

Impact Sabitzer is dealing with a strain and is not with the team Wednesday, with the injury enough to keep the midfielder out.

Jobe Bellingham and Felix Nmecha start in the midfield in his place.
