Dynamo Dresden defender Lars Bünning's life was in danger after suffering a brain hemorrhage and had to be operated on. As the club announced, the brain haemorrhage occurred spontaneously and without external influence. The 28-year-old's operation was successful.
Bünning is fully conscious and continues to receive intensive medical care. Dynamo will communicate further information on his state of health and the rehabilitation process in close consultation with his family.
"Shock moment"
"The news was an absolute shock moment for us. In situations like this, soccer completely takes a back seat, because nothing is more valuable than your health. Fortunately, the operation went very well and Lars is fully conscious again. The entire club's thoughts are with him and his family. We will provide him with the best possible support during his recovery," said Sören Gonther, Managing Director Sport, in a club statement.
The Hamburg native joined Dynamo from 1. FC Kaiserslautern in 2023 and was promoted to Bundesliga 2 with the Dresdeners a year ago. In the season just ended, Bünning only made twelve appearances and scored one goal. He still has a contract until 2027.
