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.
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:
