An unexploded Second World War bomb has been discovered close to Borussia Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park ground.
The 550lb device, reported by German broadcaster DW as being of
British origin,
was found on Thursday and plans are in place to try and defuse it.
The discovery came just hours before Dortmund boss
Jurgen Klopp was due to give a news conference ahead of Saturday's derby
against Schalke.
The 80,720-capacity stadium and the surrounding area was evacuated.
"It is not yet known how long the stadium area will
remain off limits," Dortmund, who shut their Fan World space and club
museum, said in a brief statement.
The bomb was found at a parking area to the west of the
Signal Iduna Park and was discovered after viewing aerial photographs.
