Dortmund vs Atalanta kick-off delayed by traffic

Borussia Dortmund's Champions League match against Atalanta saw kickoff delayed by 15 minutes after the hosts got stuck in traffic en route to Signal Iduna Park.

The match, originally scheduled for 20:00 GMT (21:00 CET), was pushed back to 20:15 GMT (21:15 CET). This is the first leg of a play-off for Round of 16 qualification, with the second leg set for February 25.

Atalanta enters the match with injury concerns, as Charles De Ketelaere and Giacomo Raspadori are both sidelined for at least a month. Gianluca Scamacca returns to the starting lineup in their absence.
