BA tumor in the testicles has been discovered by Marco Richter from Hertha BSC. The striker needs surgery. The Berlin Bundesliga team announced this on Tuesday. The Bundesliga professional is threatened with a longer break.
“Marco gets every conceivable support from us in this situation. We hope that he will return to our circle healthy as soon as possible,” said managing director Fredi Bobic in a statement. “As soon as there are further findings on the healing process, we will inform you about it,” said Hertha.
The 24-year-old offensive player Richter moved from FC Augsburg to Berlin in the previous season and scored five goals in 30 Bundesliga games. Under the new coach Sandro Schwarz, Richter was a regular in the position of right winger. Hertha traveled to England for a training camp on Tuesday.
Timo Baumgartl from 1. FC Union Berlin was only diagnosed with testicular cancer in May and a tumor was successfully removed. “Fortunately, I have been taking preventative care for a number of years. I am very grateful for the quick, clear diagnosis and for the surgery that has since taken place, which has gone well,” said the defender at the time. The tumor in the testicles was discovered during a check-up and surgically removed a few days later.
