Suspension cleared Bensebaini has served his one-match Bundesliga ban in Saturday's win over Augsburg.

Impact Bensebaini will aim to regain a starting spot in the back line after being active over the previous six Bundesliga or European games before his ban. Luca Reggiani will be at risk of losing his place in the lineup with Bensebaini back. The Algerian has been reliable for defensive stats, averaging 4.4 clearances and 1.3 tackles per contest and earning seven clean sheets over 12 league starts this campaign.

Suspended one game Bensebaini will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in the Bundesliga.

The defender has been a mainstay in the center of the back line for Dortmund this season, cementing himself in the starting XI and delivering consistent, reliable minutes. His absence forces a shake-up in the lineup, with Niklas Sule or Luca Reggiani likely to be the options to replace him during his ban.

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.
