German football team return to Paris hotel after bomb threat

The German national football team have returned to their Paris hotel after an earlier evacuation following a bomb threat.

The 2014 World Cup winners are in France to take on the hosts of next year's European Championships in a friendly match tonight.

The squad have since returned to the hotel after a police check of the building.

But earlier this morning, an anonymous caller phoned in the threat. 

Germany's general manager and former striker Oliver Bierhoff told Sky Deutschland: "This morning there was an anonymous phone call with a bomb threat. The hotel informed us about it. Everything was very professional and smooth.

"The French police were contacted and they assessed the risk and decided the hotel should be evacuated. So we decided to travel with the team to visit Roland Garros, that's just five minutes away from the hotel.

"The investigations into the anonymous bomb threat continue. But we are very relieved now that there was no bomb found."
