The bomb, belonging to the British, was found at a carpark, nearby the west tribune of the Signal Iduna Park, only moments before BVB boss Jurgen Klopp was due for a news conference ahead of their weekend fixture against Schalke 04.

In a brief statement, Dortmund said, “It is not yet known how long the stadium area will remain off limits.”
