“Absolutely shocking moment”
“The news was an absolute shock for us. In situations like this, football takes a complete backseat because nothing is more valuable than health. Fortunately, the operation went very well and Lars is fully conscious again.
The entire club’s thoughts are with him and his family. We will provide him with the best possible support in his recovery process,” said Sören Gonther, Sports Director, in a club statement.
The Hamburg native moved from 1. FC Kaiserslautern to Dynamo in 2023 and was promoted to the 2nd Bundesliga with Dresden a year ago. In the season that just ended, Bünning only made twelve appearances and scored one goal. He still has a contract until 2027.
