German giants Borussia Dortmund have, on Monday evening, unveiled some altogether horrid news on the personnel front.
This comes in the form of confirmation that a high-profile member of the club’s first-team squad – in the form of striker Sebastien Haller – is dealing with testicular cancer.
The news came to light a short time ago.
After feeling unwell whilst playing his part in pre-season training with a view to the new campaign, Haller was sent home.
And an ensuing round of medical checks unveiled the dreaded news alluded to above, that a tumour was discovered in one of the Ivorian international’s testicles:
‘Sebastien Haller had to leave the BVB training camp in Bad Ragaz due to illness and has already traveled back to Dortmund. During examinations, a testicular tumor was discovered,’ a statement confirmed.
Sebastien #Haller hat das #BVB-Trainingslager in Bad Ragaz krankheitsbedingt verlassen müssen und ist bereits zurück nach Dortmund gereist. Bei Untersuchungen wurde ein Hodentumor entdeckt.
Gute Besserung, @HallerSeb! 🙏🙏

Well wishes, in turn, have since poured in for Haller, who has yet to even take to the pitch in a competitive outing in Dortmund colours, on the back of his summer arrival from Ajax:
