Player injured in blasts near football team bus in Germany before Champions League match
Local police say a player for German soccer team Borussia Dortmund was injured on Tuesday following explosions near the team bus ahead of the Champions League quarterfinal match against Monaco.
The match, the first of two legs between the two sides in Europe's premier club competition, has been called off until Wednesday.
Stadium spokesman Norbert Dickel informed fans of the cancellation, saying that “there is no reason for panic here at the stadium.” North Rhine-Westphalia police spokesman Gunnar Wortmann told The Associated Press that there were “three explosions near the (Borussia Dortmund) team bus as they left the hotel to go to the stadium” and that “there was one player injured inside and damage to a window.”
