Spotted with ankle brace
Bensebaini (foot) was spotted on the training pitch Thursday wearing an ankle brace, casting serious doubt over his ability to start Algeria's World Cup opener against Argentina on June 16 despite the positive comments from coach Vladimir Petkovic, the federation posted.
ANALYSIS
Bensebaini has been sidelined for three weeks with a foot issue and while coach Petkovic expressed confidence he could start against Argentina, his appearance on the training pitch with a protective brace just four days before the opener suggests the coaching staff may need to consider alternatives in the back-line for the first fixture. The situation will be monitored closely over the coming days before any final decision is made on his availability for what promises to be one of the most high-profile opening fixtures of the tournament. Zineddine Belaid or Samir Chergui look like the most likely options to start if the Dortmund defender had to miss the clash.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for Dortmund switch
Dortmund are set to sign Bensebaini as a free agent in the summer, according to Sky Sport Germany.
ANALYSIS
Several teams have expressed interest in the Algeria and Monchengladbach full-back, but Dortmund has beaten the likes of Atletico Madrid and Inter Milan in the race for the coveted full-back. This also means that Raphael Guerreiro is even more likely to depart the club in the summer.
