Guo Jiaxuan, the Young Player Who Took a Knee In a Training Game, Has Died



Guo Jiaxuan died on Wednesday, according to the Chinese press, and Bayern Munich confirmed this hours later in a statement. The Chinese defender had been in hospital since February 6, brain-dead, after being hit on the head by a knee in a training match in Spain, and ended up not resisting. 


 

Bayern mourns the loss of its former World Cup player Guo Jiaxuan, who died at the age of 18 in China. He suffered a serious head injury after a tragic accident during a training match in Spain on February 6. The club's thoughts are with his family and friends,” reads the Bavarian club's official statement. 


Guo Jiaxuan, it should be noted, was linked to Bayern Munich because he was part of a selection of world talents in 2023, who had the opportunity to show themselves to the club for a few weeks.
