LONDON, April 12 — Borussia Dortmund defender Marc Bartra said he is “doing much better” after suffering a wrist and arm injury when the team bus was attacked with explosives yesterday shortly before the start of the Champions League clash with AS Monaco.
Bartra, who joined Dortmund for €8 million (RM37.6 million) from Barcelona at the start of the season, was operated on for a broken wrist and shrapnel in his arm.
“Hello everybody! As you can see I am doing much better,” the 26-year-old Spanish international wrote on Instagram.
The accompanying photo showed Bartra bandaged up most of his right arm and around his left wrist. He was giving the thumbs-up sign.
“Thank you everybody for all your support and your messages! All my strength to my team mates, supporters and fans and to @bvb09 for tonight’s match!”
The match is rescheduled for later today at Dortmund’s Signa Iduna Park. — Reuters
