Stars against Hoffenheim
Anton had an assist with his lone chance created while blocking a shot, making seven interceptions and 23 clearances during Saturday's 3-2 win over Hoffenheim.
Analysis: Anton set up Serhou Guirassy in the 61st minute assisting Dortmund's first goal and marking his first league assist since the 2024/25 season. Not neglecting his defensive duties, Anton led Dortmund in blocks, interceptions and clearances during the match and has combined for a league high 26 clearances through the opening two matches.
Set to start Supercup
Anton is ready to feature in Saturday's Supercup against Bayern Munich after his delayed start to preseason, according to coach Niko Kovac. "Waldi is now at the point where I'd say he can train fully with the team and also play the match on Saturday."
Analysis: Anton had to make up lost ground after preseason began late due to his participation at the World Cup, leading Dortmund to manage his workload carefully by holding him out of the friendlies against Arsenal and AS Roma. Having now reached full fitness, the 30-year-old center back is set to return directly to the starting lineup as Dortmund open their season against Bayern.
