Sven Bender

Injuries limited the Dortmund edition of the Bender brothers to just three Bundesliga appearances. All three featured him on defense, but historically Bender is a midfielder, so he is in the midfielder ratings.

In those three appearances, he did manage to get the one assist but had shaky moments on the back line.

Player Grade: C
