Uwe Seele: emergency operation after a serious fall

Big worries about soccer icon Uwe Seeler (83): As the "Hamburger Morgenpost" reports, the HSV idol fell badly in his house in Norderstedt and is said to have broken his hip. An emergency operation is still planned today. He is therefore in the Albertinen hospital in the Hamburg district of Schnelsen and has had it stated that "he has good healing meat and is optimistic about the matter".

The 83-year-old has repeatedly struggled with health problems in recent years. Seeler was always open about his ailments: since a car accident in 2010, he has been suffering from severe back pain. In 2017, the national team's honorary captain was also given a pacemaker. A few months earlier, the then 80-year-old had to have a malignant tumor on his back removed, as he confirmed at the time the "picture".
