Bayern Munich Mourns Death of 18-Year-Old Chinese Talent After Training Accident
Bayern Munich has expressed its condolences following the tragic passing of 18-year-old Chinese footballer Guo Jiaxuan, who died after suffering a severe head injury during a training match in Spain.
A Rising Talent in Global Football
Guo, a promising defender, was a former member of Bayern’s World Squad—an initiative designed to develop young international footballers. He had also played for China’s Under-17 national team, marking him as one of the country’s emerging talents.
His fatal injury occurred in February during a match against Spanish club RC Alcobendas, organized by the Beijing Football Association. Reports indicate that Guo was struck in the head by an opponent’s knee, leading to a subarachnoid hemorrhage, a rare type of stroke caused by bleeding on the brain’s surface.
