1. FC Nürnberg has extended Jonna Brengel's contract. The team supports her as she recovers from injury.
1. FC Nürnberg chose to extend the contract of midfielder Jonna Brengel. She is now recovering from a torn cruciate ligament. The club did not say how long the new contract lasts.
The 21-year-old joined Nürnberg in summer 2024 from Eintracht Frankfurt. She played 25 matches for the team. She got a torn cruciate ligament in a game against TSG Hoffenheim. This is her second big injury at the club. Last season, a torn medial ligament kept her out for over a month.
Osman Cankaya heads women's football at 1. FC Nürnberg. He said the club trusts Brengel. "Jonna has been part of our team for over a year. She matters a lot in sports and as a person. Her injury is a setback. But we still believe in her skills. We gave her this contract early to make her feel safe. She is not alone on this path."
Jonna Brengel thanked the club. She said, "I am happy to keep playing for 1. FC Nürnberg after my injury. The club feels like my sports home. The team means a lot to me. I thank them for the trust and help during rehab. I look forward to playing again soon."
