Sebastien Haller could return to BVB for the second half of the season.
Borussia Dortmund is eagerly awaiting the recovery and comeback of Sebastien Haller. Aki Watzke hopes that the attacker will be an issue again “towards the second half of the season”.
After his testicular cancer disease, Sebastien Haller and BVB only gave a few water level reports to give the Ivorian all the rest and strength for his recovery. However, the few reports about his condition give rise to hope that the 28-year-old will recover completely and return to the pitch. Same this time.
“Sebastien and I met last Tuesday and he told me that his chemotherapy would soon expire,” revealed Hans-Joachim Watzke in an interview with the sports picture and reiterated: “We have high hopes that he might be able to get back on the field as early as the second half of the season.”
However, the BVB boss also confirmed that Haller alone decides when he wants to devote himself to the comeback. “We don’t want to and mustn’t put him under pressure. The illness was massive. He gets all the time in the world,” said Watzke unequivocally.
It is clear that the Black and Yellows hope to return in the near future. Because without Haller, who should play a central role in the attacking game after the departure of Erling Haaland, Borussia often lacks penetrating power – substitute Anthony Modeste has so far not been able to fill the gap anywhere. “That completely ruined our transfer strategy in the Offensive,” said Watzke about Haller’s shock diagnosis.
