The UEFA Champions League quarter final match betwen Borussia Dortmund and AS Monaco has been postponed following explosions that affected the host team's bus on Tuesday evening.
Borussia Dortmund's Marc Bartra was injured after three explosions close to the team bus.
German security sources said it was a targetted attack on the team bus and police said "serious explosive devices" were used.
Initially reports suggested Bartra sustained a hand injury in the incident. He was receiving treatment in hospital.
The explosives were believed to have been hidden in a hedge by the side of the road.
Bartra's injuries are not thought to be serious.
Lukasz Piszczek, a defender for Borussia Dortmund, told Poland's Przeglad Sportowy newspaper: "As we were driving alongside a number of cars, a bonb went off at the side of the road. Bartra has a cast on his arm. He's in the hospital."
Hans-Joachim Watzke, the Borussia Dortmund CEO, has said: "The whole team is in a shock. You will not get those pictures out of your head. I hope that the team is able to compete on the field."
