Borussia Dortmund striker Sebastien Haller has been diagnosed with a testicular tumour. Haller had complained of feeling unwell during Dortmund's ongoing pre-season training camp in Switzerland. He underwent a medical examination on Monday when it was revealed that he has a testicular tumour. Haller had recently joined Dortmund from Dutch club Ajax.
The 28-year-old was one of the best players for Ajax in the Eredivisie - the Dutch top flight last season and scored 21 goals in 31 matches for Ajax before securing a switch to Dortmund this summer. He is yet to make his first start for the Bundesliga outfit, who are on their pre-season tour in Switzerland.
Dortmund said it was shocking news for everyone at the club and that they will do everything in their power to help Haller make a full recovery. “This news today came as a shock to Sebastien Haller and everyone else,” said Sebastian Kehl, Dortmund's sporting director.
“The entire BVB family hopes that Sébastien makes a full recovery as soon as possible and that we can give him a hug again soon. We’ll do everything in our power to ensure that he receives the best possible treatment," he added.
