Sebastien Haller faces Borussia Dortmund absence as club outline ‘tumour in testicles’ | Football | Sport
Sebastien Haller has been diagnosed with a tumour in his testicles after leaving the Borussia Dortmund training camp, the Bundesliga side confirmed on Monday. Haller joined Dortmund from Ajax last month as Erling Haaland’s replacement.
The Ivory Coast international had been with the Dortmund squad for pre-season training, but was forced to return to Germany after suffering with a brief illness.
After tests were carried out, it was discovered that he had a tumour in his testicles. He will undertake further medical examinations in the coming days before the true extent of the issue is confirmed.
Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl confirmed the news in a statement on Monday night, expressing the news as a “shock” to the player and the club. He also confirmed the club would do everything possible to help Haller.
