Dortmund striker Sébastien Haller has received bad news. During an examination, a tumor in his testicle was discovered in the Ivorian striker. “We will do everything we can to ensure that he receives the best possible treatment,” Dortmund said.
Sébastien Haller just made the switch from Ajax to Dortmund, which brought in the attacker as successor to Erling Haaland. At training camp with his new club, he felt unwell on Monday, after which he was subjected to an intensive medical examination.
During those examinations, the doctors diagnosed Haller’s tumor in the testicle. Dortmund says that Haller will undergo additional examinations in a specialized medical center in the next few days.
“This news came as a shock to Sébastien and to all of us,” sporting director Sebastien Kehl told the club’s website. “The entire Dortmund family wishes him a speedy and full recovery. We hope we can hug him again soon.”
“We will do everything we can to make sure he gets the best possible treatment.”
Haller: “I feel like I don’t deserve this”
Haller received massive support through social media. The Ivorian striker responds to this for the first time: “I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the warm messages I have received. It has meant a lot to me to see all those beautiful reactions.”
“I will now focus on my recovery so that I can come back stronger,” he continues combatively. “It kind of feels like I don’t deserve it, but thanks to you I know I’m coming out of this. I’ll see you back on the field soon to celebrate our next victories.”
