Bundesliga: he suffers three ligament ruptures in 18 months 🤯 | OneFootball

The mental strength it will take to come back...

A story that seems barely believable in the Bundesliga.

At 26, Luca Kilian is living a true nightmare. The central defender for Cologne has torn the cruciate ligament in his right knee, his third rupture in just 18 months.

It all started in March 2024, during a training session, when Kilian tore his cruciate ligament for the first time.

After long months of rehabilitation, he finally returned to the field... only to suffer the same severe injury in December 2024, this time during a match with the U21 team.

As he was preparing for another comeback, the story repeated itself on Monday during a training session.

The defender collapsed, letting out a cry of pain. Medical examinations confirmed the worst: the right cruciate ligament is torn again.

Three ruptures in less than two years... for the former Mainz player, it feels like a terrible curse.

Stay strong!
