The Bundesliga club eventually played their quarter-final first leg tie against Monaco 24 hours later on Wednesday. Three bombs containing pieces of metal detonated minutes after the bus left the team's hotel. Dortmund defender Bartra, 26, was hurt by flying glass and had to undergo a wrist operation, forcing him out of action for four weeks.
