DortmundSeason could be done
Bensebaini (foot) remains unavailable and has been ruled out of Friday's clash against Frankfurt, with coach Niko Kovac also expressing doubt over his availability for the subsequent fixture against Bremen which would end his season now, according to Ruhr 24. "Ramy is unavailable. He is still suffering from a foot injury and I fear he will not be able to play against Bremen either."
Analysis: Bensebaini has been dealing with a foot issue since picking up the problem in the DFB Pokal, and the club is clearly not prepared to rush him back before he is fully right with the season drawing to a close. Luca Reggiani and Filippo Mane remain the most likely candidates to cover in the back line in his continued absence as Dortmund push through the final fixtures of their Bundesliga campaign. If the Algerian can't return against Bremen for the season final, he would end the campaign with seven goals and two assists to go with 55 tackles and 113 clearances in 30 appearances across all competitions.
Picks up injury
Bensebaini is out for Sunday's match against Gladbach due to a foot injury, according to manager Niko Kovac.
Analysis: Bensebaini is not going to make the call after a Cup injury last week, as the defender is suffering from a swollen foot. With the issue being something hard to play through, the club appears to be taking a cautious approach and not risking him, as they have a UCL spot and look to be set for second place in the league. This will leave Luca Reggiani and Filippo Mane as potential replacements, both named by manager Kovac as possible options.
Scores and assists
Bensebaini scored a goal and had an assist while taking two shots (one on goal), creating two chances, making four tackles (winning two) and four clearances during Sunday's 4-0 win over Freiburg.
Analysis: Bensebaini set up Maximilian Beier for the opening goal in the 8th minute before scoring himself in the 31st and leading Dortmund in tackles and clearances. The goal was the first since March 21st as Bensebaini has combined for three goal involvements, four shots, four chances created and six tackles over his last three appearances.
