Borussia Dortmund defender Marc Bartra has sent a message of gratitude on his Instagram and Twitter accounts following Tuesday's terrorist attack on the team's bus.

Three explosions were detonated near Dortmund's bus en route to a Champions League quarter-final tie with Monaco at Signal Iduna Park.

One explosion shattered the bus window and injured Bartra, who underwent surgery on his wrist on Tuesday evening.

The centre-back posted on Instagram and Twitter on Wednesday, saying he was doing "much better" and thanking fans for their support.
