Picks up thigh knock
Bensebaini sustained a thigh contusion during Saturday's 1-0 Bundesliga victory over Eintracht Frankfurt but is not expected to face a lengthy absence, according to coach Niko Kovac, per Bild. "He took a knock. When you get a knee to the thigh, it hurts a lot."
Analysis: Bensebaini suffered a painful thigh contusion during Dortmund's narrow victory over Frankfurt, visibly struggling with discomfort during the closing stages of the match but managing to finish the contest. The Algerian defender is not expected to face an extended spell on the sidelines, although his condition will need to be monitored in the coming days. He will miss Tuesday's DFB-Pokal encounter against Werder Bremen due to a suspension stemming from a red card in the Supercup, giving him additional time to recover without missing further action because of the injury. His availability for Dortmund's next Bundesliga fixture remains to be determined.
Option to face Paderborn
Bensebaini (ribs) is an option for Saturday's clash against Paderborn, according to coach Niko Kovac, per Ruhr 24. "He is ready for action this weekend, I can count on him, and we are pleased about that."
Analysis: Bensebaini had recently returned to team training as he continued recovering from a rib injury that limited him to start the campaign, and this update now confirms he has fully recovered. He was a regular starter last season when healthy, and his versatility across the back line gives Dortmund another option as he looks to reclaim a starting role.
