Dortmund To Pull Together Against Monaco After Bomb Explosion (Read)

“Shocked” Borussia Dortmund players will “pull together” when they face Monaco, 24 hours after their team bus was damaged by explosions in Germany.

Defender Marc Bartra fractured his wrist in the incident, which led to Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final first leg being postponed. The match has been rescheduled for today, with a 17:45 BST kick-off. “In such a crisis situation, all of Borussia will pull together,” said chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke.
“The team and coaches were shocked. Now we must channel it in some”
Watzke said the “explosive strike on the bus” happened as it left the team hotel, with “three explosive devices placed and triggered on the edge of the road”.

Dortmund said Bartra had an operation on Tuesday after “breaking the radial bone in his arm and getting bits of debris lodged in his hand”.
