Bayern Munich star Sven Ulreich announces tragic death of his six-year-old son after ‘long, serious illness'
BAYERN MUNICH goalkeeper Sven Ulreich has announced the tragic death of his six-year-old son. The German stopper, 36, shared the heartbreaking update on Friday morning. 1 Ulreich's son Len, born in 2018, lost his brave battle with a serious illness in June. Ulreich wrote on Instagram: "It is with deep sadness that we would like to announce today that our son Len passed away a few weeks ago after a long, serious illness. "The decision to make this public now is incredibly difficult for us – however, it is an important step for us as a family to create clarity in our environment and also in the public eye. "Together with our daughter, we are now trying to find our way back to life step by step. "Special thanks go to our families, friends, and FC Bayern Munich for their discretion and great support over the past few months – that means a lot to us. "We ask the public and media representatives to be considerate and respect our privacy. We kindly ask you to refrain from further inquiries or statements." The club's support comes weeks after Ulreich signed a one-year extension at the Allianz Arena. As Bayern's No.2 behind captain Manuel Neuer, Ulreich has made 103 competitive appearances. He has won the Bundesliga nine times, the DFB Cup three times, the DFL Supercup six times. He has also lifted the Champions League and UEFA Super Cup. THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..

Ulreich extends with Bayern, Zvonarek joins Grasshoppers on loan
Goalkeeper Sven Ulreich has signed a one-year extention until summer 2026 with Bayern Munich, the German record champions said in a statement on Tuesday. Ulreich, 36, joined Bayern in 2015 from VfB Stuttgart and has since stood in for Manuel Neuer several times when the number one keeper was injured. Last season, however, he was third choice for coach Vincent Kompany, who relied on youngster Jonas Urbig when Neuer was not available. "Sven Ulreich is reliability personified: he delivers what he promises - in the truest sense of the word. Characters like him are good for any team. We're delighted he'll be spending another season with us," board member for sport Max Eberl said. Bayern also said that they have sent their young Croatian Lovro Zvonarek on another season-long loan, to Swiss club Grasshoppers. The 20-year-old midfielder arrived in Munich in 2022 and has a contract until 2027. Zvonarek has appeared 27 times for Bayern's reserves, with 12 goals and seven assists, and four times for the first team. Last season, the Croatian under-21 international played 22 games for Austrian champions Sturm Graz, scoring twice, in a first loan spell. Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund said that Zvonarek "gained valuable experience" in Austria, and that 'he'll now take his next steps in Switzerland and get even more game time" at Zurich's Grasshoppers.

Ulreich's decision on career could impact Bayern goalkeeper department
Sven Ulreich will stay at Bayern, but it remains to be seen in what role and his future could have an impact, according to BILD. In the next few days, there will be discussions on whether he will extend his contract and continue as backup for Neuer and Urbig. Alternatively, the former VfB Stuttgart and Hamburger SV shot-stopper could retire and continue at Bayern in another role. Depending on Ulreich's decision, the Bavarian giants will decide whether to recruit a new goalkeeper as their third-choice. Should Ulreich retire, the club would almost certainly sign Hendrik Bonmann from Ludogorets. Die Rekordmeister were already linked with former BVB goalkeeper Bonmann only a handful of weeks ago. As confirmed by both clubs on Monday, Daniel Peretz has joined HSV on a year-long loan, ruling him out of the equation.

🎙️ Donnarumma taking too many risks? Neuer and Eberl respond clearly
The severe injury of Jamal Musiala has overshadowed the FC Bayern's exit in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup against PSG. Afterwards, both Manuel Neuer and sports director Max Eberl commented on the scene and Gianluigi Donnarumma. "It's tragic," said Eberl in a media round after the game, Musiala is "extremely down, extremely sad [...] We love him for his joy of playing, now such a setback - that's extremely difficult for him, but we're there for him as a family." Donnarumma, who had reacted affectedly himself, should not be attributed "zero intention", emphasized the 51-year-old, "but he didn't show any consideration. If I jump onto the lower leg with 100 kilos and while sprinting... No accusation, but he's taking that risk, in a certain intensity." Advertisement Bayern's captain Manuel Neuer also criticized his counterpart in the PSG goal in the mixed zone after the game: "With Jamal, it's a situation where you take the risk. A situation where I think you don't have to go in like that. But okay, we're keeping our fingers crossed that it's not that bad, but it will definitely be bad. To jump in like that is already risky. You're simply taking the opponent's injury into account. And then nothing happens afterwards." 📸 PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA - AFP or licensors Neuer was also bothered by the behavior of the PSG goalkeeper immediately after the scene. According to his own statement, Neuer had called Donnarumma to account on the field: "I went to him: 'Don't you want to go over there?' Jamal is lying there, he will probably have to stay in the hospital now, I think it's only respectful to go over, wish him all the best and apologize a bit. After that, he also went to Jamal." Advertisement After the game, the Italian spoke up on social media. On Instagram, the goalkeeper wrote: "All my prayers and best wishes are with you, Jamal Musiala." Donnarumma also shared a picture of himself, with his hand in front of his face, walking off the field with two PSG staff members during the game.

Bayern Munich star Jamal Musiala breaks silence after suffering horror injury during PSG Club World Cup clash
Jamal Musiala has said there is 'no one to blame' after he broke his leg and dislocated his ankle during Bayern Munich 's Club World Cup quarter-final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. The 22-year-old sustained the horrific injuries after he collided with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma at the end of the first half, before the Champions League winners booked their semi-final tie against Real Madrid with a 2-0 win. Footage of the incident showed the Bayern star's ankle getting trapped in between the Italian shot-stopper's body and arms as he went for the ball. The momentum of both players then carried them in opposite directions, with the forward's ankle bearing the brunt of the collision, twisting at a sickening angle as a result. The freak accident left Donnarumma in tears and he dropped to his knees with his head in his hands as Bayern players swarmed to Musiala's assistance. The Italian keeper later posted on Instagram to wish Musiala well, writing: 'All my prayers and well wishes are with you @jamalmusiala10.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jamal Musiala (@jamalmusiala10) Musiala left the field on a stretcher and is now expected to be sidelined for at least four months Bayern Munich goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was nevertheless unhappy with his opposition number, accusing Donnarumma of 'taking a risk' with the way he went into the challenge.' But Musiala, who flew back from Atlanta to Munich to undergo surgery, has now said that no one is to blame for the horror injury. 'I wanted to say thanks for all the love and support. It's nice to see how the football world comes together in times like this. I've really appreciated it,' he said in a video posted on Instagram. 'The surgery went really well, I'm in good care and I wanted to say there's no one to blame for this.' 'I think situations like this happen and now I'm just going to use the next period of time to build up my strength and positivity again.' The Germany international is expected to be out 'for the next few months', according to Bayern. Bayern boss Vincent Kompany had described the moment as 'emotional' after the match and admitted: 'Of course it didn't look good. I hope it's not too bad, but it didn't look good. I hope he'll have the best possible recovery.' Musiala scored 21 goals and provided eight assists in all competitions last season as Bayern won the Bundesliga.
