Good news regarding Marc Bartra! The BVB player, who sustained injuries to his arm and hand in a bomb attack on Tuesday, is recovering after his operation. Given the circumstances, he is doing well, said Sporting Director Michael Zorc after paying the Spaniard a visit in hospital.

Bartra has been absolutely delighted and visibly moved that so many team-mates and club officials have paid him a visit since yesterday. He will be watching tonight's match on television and has his fingers crossed for the team.

Following the successful operation, the Spaniard will be now out of action for several weeks as he recovers. (br)
