Bayern Extends Grohs' Contract Amid Cancer Diagnosis

Bayern Munich's women's goalkeeper, Mala Grohs, has been diagnosed with a malignant tumor and will be away from football indefinitely to focus on her recovery. The 23-year-old, who has won three German titles with Bayern, shared her optimism about overcoming this challenge with the support of her club and teammates. In a show of solidarity, Bayern Munich extended her contract until the summer of 2026, emphasizing their commitment and support during her recovery. Team and club officials, including Bayern's director of women's football Bianca Rech, expressed their unwavering support and best wishes for Grohs. Grohs, who made her debut for Bayern in January 2021, was recently called up to the German national team but had to withdraw for surgery. Bayern Munich, currently third in the Frauen Bundesliga standings, continues to rally around their goalkeeper during this challenging time.
