Dortmund, Aug. 27 -- Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund have bolstered its defensive options by signing Aaron Anselmino, an Argentine U20 international from Premier League side Chelsea, on a loan deal which will run until the end of the season.

Dortmund released a statement to announce the arrival of Anselmino on Wednesday. At the beginning of the season, Dortmund was left jolted after Niklas Sule joined Emre Can and Nico Schlotterbeck on the injury list. Schlotterbeck sustained a knee injury in April and was subsequently ruled out for six months.

With Can and Schlotterbeck sidelined, Dortmund's situation was exacerbated after Sule was taken off in the first half of Dortmund's pre-season defeat to Juventus earlier this month.
