(The Guardian) The stadium has not been evacuated - in fact, fans have been asked to stay inside for the moment. The club and police have made an announcement explaining that there has been an explosion and one person has been hospitalised. The police say “we are here in force; if you have any questions, ask us.” Presumably the authorities are still trying to establish exactly what has happened and whether there is any further threat. The match has not been officially postponed but it seems highly unlikely that it will go ahead. |

(BBC Sport) Three explosions Police confirm there were three explosions in the area of the Borussia Dortmund team bus. (The Guardian) (Quoting the Guardian's Paul Doyle): I should stress that the idea of playing the match tomorrow is only provisional: the authorities have not confirmed that it will indeed go ahead. With so much uncertainty around what has happened and how people, including players, have been affected, it would be unwise to commit to a new kickoff time now. |
