Two years ago he was still part of a young Bayern youth project. Now Guo Jiaxuan is a brain dead after a collision at the age of only 18.
The only 18-year-old Guo Jiaxuan, former talent of FC Bayern World Squad and player of Beijing Guoan, is a brain after an accident during a training game. As several Spanish media report, a knee against his head led to brain hemorrhage and finally to brain death.
In 2023, Guo was the only Chinese participant of FC Bayern World Squad-a project by the German record champion who accompanies international U19 talents on their way to professional football. In addition, the central defender belonged to the Chinese U17 national team in the same year.
The tragic incident occurred during a friendly against RC Alcobendas, a club from the seventh Spanish league. Guo’s brother explained on the Chinese platform “Xiaohongshu” that the family had little hope: “Guo suffered a subarachnoid bleeding after collapsing with another player during a training game. The doctor informed us that it was only very small Chance of survival gives that it is clinically dead due to lack of oxygen in the brain and that they will remove the hoses. “
Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a form of brain hemorrhage in which blood exits the room between two meninges. In the worst case, this type of injury can make the brain functions completely.
According to the “Southern Metropolis Daily” and the “Shanghai Daily”, the Beijing Football Association, together with Guo’s family, plans to bring him back to China for further treatments as soon as possible.
The RC Alcobendas also commented in a statement: “In the name of RC Alcobendas, we would like to express our deepest sympathy for the player from the delegation of the Beijing Football Association, who suffered an accident during a friendly against our first team.”
