Borussia Dortmund's team bus has been caught up in an explosion ahead of tonight's match against AS Monaco.

Spanish defender Marc Bartra was wounded in the blast and taken to hospital as a result.

Local police and Dortmund's official Twitter account confirmed the news, noting that the explosion occurred near the team hotel.

A translated tweet read: "Bomb explosion on the team bus at the team hotel. Player in security. No danger in the and at the stadium. More information to follow."

German newspaper Bild reports that the incident occurred approximately 10km from the stadium, with the blast shattering the vehicle's windows.
