Makes three clearances in loss
Bensebaini registered two tackles (one won), three clearances and three interceptions in Tuesday's 3-0 defeat against Argentina.
Analysis: Bensebaini led Algeria with three clearances and three interceptions, but it wasn't enough to avoid the loss in their debut. The centerback also made the third-most tackles for his side. He's on par with his performance for Borussia Dortmund in the season, after logging 3.7 clearances per game in 30 appearances (24 starts).
Starts Tuesday
Bensebaini (foot) is part of Algeria's starting lineup Tuesday versus Argentina.
Analysis: Bensebaini was not expected to play in his country's World Cup opener, so his inclusion comes as a pleasant surprise, boosting their defensive ability against the toughest opponent in the group. The versatile man will likely feature as a center-back but could add attacking threat on set pieces after notching seven goals and two assists over 30 appearances in the last club season. Jaouen Hadjam will be among the substitutes Tuesday and may only play if Bensebaini is not fit for a full outing.
