Bomb attack victim Bartra steps up comeback with rigorous sand training

The Borussia Dortmund defender is well on the road to recovery from the injury sustained in April's attack on the German club's team bus

Marc Bartra has stepped up his training with intense sand-based work after being injured in the bomb attack on Borussia Dortmund's team bus last month.

The Spain international was the only player to sustain significant injuries in the blast, which occurred just prior to the Champions League quarter-final first leg with Monaco.

Bartra suffered a fractured right wrist and required surgery to repair the damage, with the procedure going ahead without complications.
