"The road to recovery will be long!" Jürgen Klinsmann's son suffers a horror injury

Shock for Jonathan Klinsmann: The goalkeeper for Italian second-tier side AC Cesena has suffered a fracture of the first cervical vertebra, the club has confirmed.

The son of 1990 World Cup winner Jürgen Klinsmann was substituted after a collision during Saturday’s away match at US Palermo (0–2) and was taken to hospital.

Cesena’s first-choice goalkeeper will miss the remainder of the season. Klinsmann will undergo further tests and consult a neurosurgeon. His agent, Marco De Marchi, acknowledged the seriousness of the situation. “The road to recovery will be a long one,” De Marchi told reporters. The Munich-born shot-stopper has been plying his trade in Italy since 2024.
