Germany: Alert lifted for Bensebaïni

Oct 31, 2026

Ramy Bensebaini is set to be available for Borussia Dortmund's match against Bayern Munich, scheduled for this Saturday during the Klassiker. The Algerian international defender, who finished the last Bundesliga match with an injury, appears to have recovered sufficiently to rejoin the squad for this crucial encounter.

According to reports from Sky Sport, the 31-year-old player is fit for this highly anticipated match at the Allianz Arena. This is encouraging news for the BVB staff, who will have an additional option in defense against one of their main rivals in the battle for the top positions.

Bensebaini suffered a thigh injury during Borussia Dortmund's victory over Eintracht Frankfurt (1-0) last weekend. The Algerian left-back took a painful blow, raising some doubts about his availability for upcoming fixtures.

The former Borussia Mönchengladbach player did not participate in the DFB-Pokal match against Werder Bremen on Wednesday. His absence was actually due to a suspension following his red card, rather than a physical issue.

This rest seems to have allowed the Algerian international to regain his fitness. His presence gives Niko Kovač more options to shape his defense for a match that promises to be particularly competitive.

The Klassiker presents a real challenge for Borussia Dortmund, who are eager to compete against Bayern Munich this season. Both teams have an identical record of 17 points after seven league matches, making this confrontation even more crucial.

Having already been defeated by their Bavarian rivals in the German Supercup last August (1-2), Dortmund hopes to achieve a better result in Munich this time. In this context, Bensebaini's return represents an additional option to take on the Bavarian challenge.
