why-the-champions-league-tie-between-chelsea-vs-borussia-dortmund-has-been-delayed

The kick-off time for Chelsea vs Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League has been delayed, with the game originally due to get underway at 8pm.

Dortmund are 1-0 up from the first leg, with striker Karim Adeyemi scoring the goal that is currently the difference between the two sides.

Graham Potter’s side, therefore, are looking to overturn a deficit, and will hope to build on their 1-0 win over Leeds in the Premier League on Saturday.

But the return leg at Stamford Bridge will not start on time, with the game delayed by 10 minutes at the time of writing.

But why has the game been delayed?

Chelsea vs Dortmund delayed

The game has been delayed by 10 minutes due to the Dortmund team bus arriving late at Stamford Bridge.

Whilst Dortmund players have been warming up before kick-off, they arrived later than planned, as per Sky Sports, and have had little time to prepare for the huge clash.

Therefore, the decision has been taken to delay the game by 10 minutes, with the fixture instead due to get underway at 8:10pm UK time instead of the 8pm UK time.
