Borussia Dortmund defender Marc Bartra has said that he is doing "much better" after being injured during the bomb attack which rocked the club's coach ahead of their Champions League fixture with AS Monaco.
As the coach left the team hotel, three explosions took place towards the back of the vehicle, with Bartra avoiding serious injury aside from a broken hand.
It has been claimed that the Spaniard could return before the end of the season, and he has taken to social media to update football supporters of his condition.
Hello! As you can see I am doing much better. Thanks for all your messages! All my strength to my team mates, fans and to @BVB for tonight!

It has been revealed that police have detained one suspect in relation to the attack, which has been deemed as a deliberate act against the team.
The rearranged fixture is scheduled to take place on Wednesday night with a kickoff time of 5.45pm, BST.
