Borussia Dortmund will most likely be without Ramy Bensebaini for their final two Bundesliga games of the season against Eintracht Frankfurt and Werder Bremen.
As BVB coach Niko Kovač revealed at a press conference on Wednesday, Bensebaini will definitely miss Friday’s game against Eintracht, with a return in Bremen also not expected.
“Ramy won’t make it. He is still having pain in his foot,” Kovač said, adding:
“I personally don’t think he will be ready for the next game in Bremen either, so that’s likely it for him in the Bundesliga for now.”
On a more positive note for Dortmund, Karim Adeyemi, Niklas Süle and Felix Nmecha are all making progress in their recoveries.
Adeyemi is fully expected to be included in the squad to face Eintracht, while a decision on the availability of Süle and Nmecha will be made after the final training session on Thursday.
“Tomorrow we still have one more session to determine whether Niki and Felix will be fit enough for the weekend,” Kovač said.
