Klinsmann, Cesena and USMNT goalkeeper, suffers broken neck
Serie B side Cesena announced that USMNT goalkeeper Jonathan Klinsmann suffered a spinal fracture in his neck during the game against Palermo.
The incident happened during an accidental collision with Palermo player Filippo Ranocchia over the weekend, so he was stretchered off in a neck brace and taken to a local hospital in Sicily for tests.
A statement from Cesena confirmed Klinsmann had suffered a cut to the head and neck trauma, so was kept in overnight for observation.

Tests were able to later show that the 29-year-old had fractured the first vertebra in his neck, so he will undergo specialist consultation with a neurosurgeon.
The son of former Inter and Germany player Jurgen Klinsmann posted on Instagram to reassure fans and thank both Cesena and Palermo supporters for their “warm wishes.”
