Borussia Dortmund defender Marc Bartra was injured following explosions near the team bus as it was driving to their home stadium for Tuesday's Champions League match, which has been postponed.
The German club confirmed multiple reports that Bartra had been taken to the hospital after windows were shattered in three explosions near the team bus.
UEFA said the match, a quarterfinal first leg against Monaco, had been postponed until Wednesday at 6:45 p.m. local time (12:45 p.m. ET).
Dortmund originally said in a tweet that an "incident" occurred while the bus was departing for the Westfalenstadion, then confirmed an explosion.
A police statement said: "According to present knowledge there were three explosions close to Borussia Dortmund's team bus. Initial findings make police believe that there was an attack with serious explosives. Those explosives might have been hidden in a hedge near a parking lot."
The Borussia Dortmund bus was stopped after a series of explosions that shattered windows on Tuesday.
Club CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said the team's location after the incident was not being shared for security reasons.
He said: "The current situation seems to be this. When the team left the hotel and drove onto Wittbraucker Strasse apparently three explosives were hidden in a hedge, at least that's what I hear from police sources, and somehow detonated.
"This naturally affected the team bus and Marc Bartra was injured on his hand and arm. He was treated on site and taken to hospital. It is nothing life-threatening or something like that.
"The team is totally shocked, that's clear. Our job now is to cope with this somehow. We must play in under 24 hours. That's our job."
Dortmund goalkeeper Roman Burki told Siss outlet Blick that he was seated next to Bartra.
"The bus turned into the main street when there was a giant bang, an explosion. I sat in the last row next to Marc Bartra, who was hit by the shattered glass of the rear window," Burki said.
"We all ducked after the bang, and those who were able took cover lying on the floor. We did not know if had already ended. The police were on site soon. We are all shocked, and nobody thought about a football match during those minutes."
Dortmund players, including American Christian Pulisic (right of flare), wait near the road after their bus was attacked.
Fans had already begun to enter the stadium, and an announcement said the situation there was "safe" and that there was "no reason to panic." They left the stadium without incident when the game was called off, and Monaco then conducted a training session on the pitch.
UEFA said in a statement the decision to postpone the game "was made after a meeting held at the Westfalenstadion between UEFA, representative of the two clubs and local authorities."
"[Coach] Thomas [Tuchel] was shocked, one of the explosions happened on his side," Watzke said. "The team is in shock. It will not be easy to get those pictures out of your head. We hope the team is somehow capable to be competitive again tomorrow."
Dortmund told fans to retain their same tickets for Wednesday, and told travelling Monaco supporters to tweet "#bedforawayfans" if they needed to find lodging for the night.
There have been a number of previous incidents involving football teams' buses. In 2010, three people died when Angolan rebels attacked the Togo national team bus with machine guns on the Congolese border ahead of the African Nations Cup.
In 2015, a bus carrying Fenerbahce players was shot at on a highway in northern Turkey, injuring the driver, while later that year Hertha Berlin's team bus was shot at ahead of a German Cup match in Bielefeld, with no reported injuries.
Last September, six armed men robbed a buscarrying Venezuelan first division club Trujillanos. No one was hurt.
