Champions League: Dortmund vs Atalanta kick-off delayed by traffic

Atalanta's Champions League play-off with Borussia Dortmund has been delayed by 15 minutes after the visitors got stuck in traffic on their way to the stadium.

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). This is the first leg of a play-off for a place in the Round of 16, with the second leg set for February 25.

Atalanta comes into the match with injury concerns as Charles De Ketelaere and Giacomo Raspadori are both out for at least a month. Gianluca Scamacca returns to the starting XI, while Giorgio Scalvini and Isak Hien are on the bench.
