Defender Bartra suffered a wrist injury as three explosions went off close to the Borussia Dortmund team bus ahead of their Champions League quarter-final against AS Monaco.

The match was postponed for just less than 24 hours, while Bartra was taken to hospital to have debris removed from his arm.
