Police confirmed that there were three explosions around the Dortmund team bus

Borussia Dortmund's Champions League quarter-final with Monaco has been postponed after the Dortmund team bus was damaged by an explosion.

The German team confirmed that defender Marc Bartra was injured in an incident near their hotel and required hospital treatment.

The match will now be played at Dortmund's Westfalenstadion at 17:45 BST on Wednesday.

Police confirmed there had been three explosions in the area of the team bus.

Dortmund tweeted that: "A bomb exploded at the team bus next to the hotel.

"The players are safe. There is no danger at the stadium."

Windows were broken on the bus, which was six miles from the stadium at the time of the incident at around 18:00 BST, and former Barcelona centre-back Bartra was sent to hospital, reportedly with minor injuries.

Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy tweeted his support, wishing Bartra a quick recovery, as did his former club.

It'll be interesting to find out what exactly happened, given that the bus appears to be undamaged significantly and they already rescheduled the game for Wednesday. What were the explosions, terrorist attempt or rockets throwing bangers ?
