Borussia Dortmund: Three explosions near German football team bus

Three explosions have gone off near the Borussia Dortmund team bus in Germany.

Spanish international Marc Bartra was taken to hospital after being injured and some of the vehicle's windows were broken.

He was said to have suffered a wounded hand after being hit by shards of glass.

Other players in the German side are thought to have been unhurt.

The blasts happened as the vehicle was leaving the team hotel in Dortmund ahead of the side's Champions League match against Monaco.

The explosions took place 10km from the Westfalenstadion stadium, where the team had been due to face the French side in the quarter-finals.

The game has now been postponed until Wednesday.

Borussia Dortmund said there was no danger at the stadium, where around 80,000 people would have been expected tonight.

The club thanked supporters Monaco for their "patience and understanding" and for chanting "Dortmund! Dortmund!" when the reason for the postponement was announced.
