It’s not the best of time for Bayern Munich goalkeeper, Sven Ulreich after losing his son to cold hands of death.
The 36-year-old announced on social media that his son Leo tragically died last month following a serious illness.
Ulreich, who has not played an official match since November 2024, wrote on Instagram: ‘It is with deep sadness that we would like to announce today that our son Len passed away a few weeks ago after a long, serious illness.
‘The decision to make this public now is incredibly difficult for us – however, it is an important step for us as a family to create clarity in our environment and also in the public eye.

‘Together with our daughter, we are now trying to find our way back to life step by step.
‘Special thanks go to our families, friends, and FC Bayern Munich for their discretion and great support over the past few months – that means a lot to us.
‘We ask the public and media representatives to be considerate and respect our privacy. We kindly ask you to refrain from further inquiries or statements. Lisa & Sven.’
Len was welcomed into the world in 2018 during Ulreich’s initial tenure at Bayern Munich. The shot-stopper moved to Hamburg in 2020 but made his way back to Bavaria after just one year.
