Borussia Dortmund defender Matthias Ginter has revealed he briefly considered retiring in the wake of the bomb attack that targeted the club's team bus ahead of their Champions League clash with Monaco in April.

Three explosions went off near the vehicle as it made its way to Signal Iduna Park prior to kick-off, with defender Marc Bartra suffering a serious wrist injury in the incident.

The attack had a big impact on Ginter and the centre-back even questioned his future in the sport as a result of the experience.
