Borussia Dortmund Legionella shower ban

The showers at the stadium in Azerbaijan stayed off-limits for Borussia Dortmund after their Champions League match, and the reason being reported is the water itself. Legionella is the concern, a bacterium tied to a serious lung infection, and the club wasn't taking chances on anything potentially deadly lurking in the supply. So players were pointed away from the stalls and straight back to the team hotel once the match ended. Niko Kovač backed it up, saying the same instruction had gone out after training the day before too. A post-match rinse turning into a logistical puzzle is some kind of new, i guess.
