Dortmund vs Atalanta Kick-off Delayed by Traffic

Borussia Dortmund's Champions League play-off against Atalanta has been delayed by 15 minutes due to traffic issues preventing the hosts from reaching the stadium on time.

The match, originally scheduled for 20.00 GMT (21.00 CET) at Signal Iduna Park, will now kick off at 20.15 GMT (21.15 CET). Both teams are competing in a play-off for a place in the Round of 16, with the second leg set for February 25.

Atalanta will be missing Charles De Ketelaere and Giacomo Raspadori, both out for at least a month with injuries, but Gianluca Scamacca returns to the starting lineup.
