He shouldn’t be out for long.
With Borussia Dortmund en route to their home stadium Westfalenstadion to play their Champions League quarter-final tie against AS Monaco yesterday evening three explosive devices detonated by the team bus.
Fortunately, there were no serious injuries as a consequence of the explosions with Marc Bartra being the only player who was hurt in the incident.
The club released a statement yesterday, which read:
“Marc Bartra underwent an operation on Tuesday night after breaking the radial bone in his arm and getting bits of debris lodged in his hand as a result of the bomb attack on the BVB Team Bus.”
And reports coming from German media this morning say that the player should be back sooner rather than later.

A very rough translation of the German blogger’s tweet reads:
“The most important news is that Marc Bartra surgery was successful and will hopefully be back to 100% in a couple of weeks”
And Sebastian Kolsberger, a reporter for german newspaper BILD also said that Bartra is on the road to recovery.
Dazu noch gute Nachrichten! Kein Saison-Aus für @MarcBartra der Spanier ist auf dem Wege der Besserung. #BVBASM

“There is good news! Marco Bartra will not be out for the season and it on the road to recovery”
Dortmund’s tie against Monaco was rescheduled and will take place this evening at 17:45 Irish time.
