In slightly more upbeat news coming out of Dortmund, following last night's worrying attack that targeted the BVB team bus, defender Marc Bartra has posted his first message since injuring his arm.
And the Spanish defender looks to be in good spirits, despite his entire right arm being encased in a plaster cast.
The blast caused the glass in one of the windows on the coach to shatter, breaking a bone in Bartra's hand.

Earlier today, German police confirmed that a suspect had been arrested in relation to the attack, with possible links to an 'Islamist scene', according to Sky Sports News reporter Kaveh Solhekol.
Yet despite the security concerns that are surrounding tonight's rescheduled Champions League quarter-final match between Dortmund and Monaco at Signal Iduna Park, Bartra sent out a positive message, clearly relieved that his injury wasn't more serious than it could have easily been.

Bartra's message reads, "Hello everybody! As you can see I am doing much better. 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! #HejaBVB"
Bartra has been sent well wishes from all around the world in the aftermath of the incident, with Dortmund and Monaco fans putting opposition aside to show their support for the former Barcelona man:
