Chelsea have offered support to Borussia Dortmund after their team bus suffered an attack ahead of Tuesday night’s Champions League quarter-final first leg against Monaco at the Westfalenstadion.
Dortmund police have confirmed that three explosions hit a coach carrying the football team as they travelled to the stadium, reports BBC News.
Marc Bartra suffered a broken wrist as a result of the glass windows smashing during the attack, and the Bundesliga club later confirmed that the Spaniard underwent an operation in hospital.
No other people were hurt and all the players were taken to safety after the attack.
The Guardian reports that a letter claiming responsibility for the incident was found at the scene, but police are refusing to give further details until it is checked thoroughly.
As a result of the attack, the quarter-final first leg was rescheduled for Wednesday at 5:45pm UK time.
The severity of the incident has encouraged football clubs around Europe to offer their support, and Chelsea were one of them.
The Premier League leaders tweeted the German outfit, and the Chelsea fans praised them for doing so.
