Klopp’s Video Message Offers Support to Delani Diekmeier, 14, in Cancer Fight

The message arrives alongside the family’s HSV-backed awareness effort, with doctors describing very limited survival odds.

Overview

  • Jürgen Klopp recorded a message shared by the Legenden für Leben charity praising Delani’s strength and urging her to keep dreaming of the future.
  • Klopp referenced hopeful milestones such as the 2026 World Cup and said he would like to meet her, wishing her strength and faith.
  • Delani had a malignant tumor removed but the cancer spread to her lungs, and multiple surgeries and chemotherapy have not produced the hoped-for results.
  • Reports cite a survival estimate of about five percent from doctors, while coverage differs on the tumor’s origin even as all agree on the lung metastases.
  • Dennis Diekmeier spoke at HSV’s Volksparkstadion during a yeswecan!cer campaign as the club prepared a signed jersey for Delani, and he has taken leave from SV Sandhausen to focus on his family.
