Ivan Klasnic Press Release
Ivan Klasnic’s family lawyer, Dr. K.-Peter Horndasch, Weyhe, Bremen released the following press release on behalf of Ivan Klasnic concerning his current health situation:
“Following tests taken on 03.11.2005 in connection with an appendix operation, the Werder Bremen and Croatian international, Ivan Klasnic was diagnosed as having problems with his kidney levels. Since then, attempts have been made to reverse the problem and until just a few days ago, Ivan Klasnic and his doctors were positive that a kidney sufficiency could be avoided. Devastatingly, it is now clear that a kidney transplant will be necessary. Thankfully a suitable replacement organ has been located.
For that reason, Klasnic will remain in hospital for 10 to 12 days before returning for rehabilitation training. Doctors treating the player expect him to be available to play for the club again in 6 to 8 weeks and be back to his old self. Ivan Klasnic himself has requested that his family and himself be allowed the necessary peace and time to recover. He is extremely thankful to his fans for their support until now and he will release more information on his health and the development of his recovery process at the appropriate time.”
Klaus Allofs, Werder’s general manager commented on the news: “This is an exceptional situation which has moved all of us. He can be sure of all the support that we can offer him.”
Head coach Thomas Schaaf added: “The most important issue is that Ivan gets well and we intend to allow him the time to do that. We hope that the surgery can be carried out without problems and that Ivan is back playing football again soon.”
