Former footballer Mehmet Scholl’s daughter has revealed she has a rare disorder.

Josefine Scholl admitted she was diagnosed with the condition as a child.

She is the daughter of former Germany and Bayern Munich star Scholl, 55, who broke England hearts at Euro 96.

She revealed she suffers with McCune-Albright syndrome, a rare genetic disorder affecting bones, skin, and hormones.

The condition is characterised by fibrous dysplasia, which can lead to weak and abnormally-shaped bones.

Fashion model Josefine told her TikTok followers about her condition in a video of her applying makeup to her face.

The 17-year-old said: “I have McCune-Albright syndrome, it’s a congenital condition.

“I’ve actually had it since I was little, but I only really felt it when I was about 13 or 14 years old.”

She said her right side is particularly affected, where her bones have cavities and are therefore more fibrous.

Josefine said: “More fibrous means they break more easily, I have fibrous dysplasia in my bones.”

She said she broke her thigh bone when she was 14 years old, as reported by Need To Know.

“That doesn’t happen easily because the femur is a large, strong bone,” she pointed out.

“But because of my illness, my bones break more easily.”

She added: “I’m in a bit of pain every day.”

Despite her physical limitations, Josefine has developed a unique perspective on life.

“I just grew up with it,” she said. “I have pain in my upper arm, but also generally on the right side of my body.

“But it has taught me to appreciate the little things in life.”

She advised her followers: “Appreciate your health, it is simply the most important thing in life.”
