Cologne officially announced that 26-year-old central defender Luca Killian suffered a serious injury of a torn cruciate ligament for the third time in 18 months. According to Biography, in order to support the player, Cologne immediately announced that it would renew its contract until 2026.
【Official Announcement】
Killian will be absent from Cologne Football Club for several months again. The centre-back was injured again while training on Monday, and the MRI test that day resulted in a brutal diagnosis: a torn cruciate ligament.
This means that the 26-year-old's incredible period of suffering will continue, and it has been around for nearly a year and a half. At the end of March 2024, Killian had his first cruciate ligament tear during training. Just as he was working hard to return to the field, he suffered a second cruciate ligament tear while representing the U21 youth team in the Western Regional League in December 2024. Killian did not give up and successfully returned to the court again and practiced with the team for the first time in summer training camp. Now, I have suffered another serious setback.
