Out with back injury Bensebaini is out for Tuesday's DFB Pokal match against Frankfurt due to a back injury, according to his club.

The club will monitor the defender in the coming days, as he is a regular starter in the defense, possibly a major loss for the club. This will leave Waldemar Anton, Nico Schlotterbeck and Niklas Sule to likely see the start at center-back moving forward if Bensebaini misses more time.

Sees multiple roles in defense Bensebaini started in 23 of his 31 appearances this season while recording one goal and six assists to go along with 33 interceptions, 51 tackles and 79 clearances.

Impact Bensebaini started the season in more of a rotational role but was quickly a regular starter by mid-October, seeing most of his time at left-back. However, by the end of the season, he was also serving in the center of the defense and still maintaining regular time. He did see a bit of drop in production when he moved to the center, but likely won't see much more time in that role if the club can remain fit next season. That said, he will have to do his best to still maintain a spot at left-back, as with the young Daniel Svensson bidding for time, Bensebaini could drop to more of a rotational role depending on Svensson's development.

Own goal and assist Bensebaini assisted once to go with an own goal, one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 3-1 victory over Barcelona.

Impact Bensebaini's own goal is the lone blemish to an excellent Dortmund performance. Fortunately for him, blemish or not, Dortmund's team would have been eliminated from the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League. Regardless, Bensebaini compensated for his own goal with an assist to one of Serhou Guirassy's hat-trick goals. Defensively, the center-back finishes his UCL campaign with 28 clearances, 16 interceptions and five blocks in 12 games.

APRIL 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Seeing less time Bensebaini has only started in one of the club's last four matches, seeing 145 minutes of play during that span.

Impact Bensebaini started as a regular starter this season but seems to have lost some of his minute recently, as he has seen limited time since returning from an injury in mid-February. He is still seeing starts here and there, but has definitely been hindered by the addition of Daniel Svensson. He should remain in a rotational role at minimal, but hope a starting spot comes again soon, starting in 23 of his 33 appearances this season.
