Germany return to hotel after bomb threat

The DFB has announced Germany have returned to
their hotel after a previous evacuation following a
bomb threat.

Germany's national team has returned to the Hotel Molitor in
Paris after they were evacuated earlier on Friday following a
bomb threat.

The world champions arrived in the capital on Thursday ahead
of an international friendly at the Stade de France, but their
preparation was cruelly disturbed when an anonymous bomb
threat was called in.

"The French police informed us that an anonymous bomb threat
has been received," DFB security officer Hendrik Grosse Lefert
told DPA news agency earlier on Friday.

"Together with my colleagues, we have decided to leave the
hotel at short notice."

The hotel was evacuated, but the players and technical staff
have now returned to their accommodation as their
attention returns to Friday's match against France.

"The team is back at the hotel. Focus on France-Germany now,"
a tweet from the official German Football Association (DFB)
read.

Germany's players made the most of the situation by paying a
visit to the legendary Stade Roland Garros tennis venue, with
Sami Khedira uploading a picture of their trip to his Instagram
account accompanied by the message "Bomb threat for the
hotel. No problem for Die Mannschaft: then we'll play some
Tennis at Roland Garros."
