“I feel good,” said striker Sébastien Haller, who was diagnosed with testicular cancer a few days after signing for Borussia Dortmund, in a video interview with ESPN website Dutch version, tuesday. “I would like to tell everyone that I feel good”, underlined Sébastien Haller, for his first words in the media after his operation at the end of July.
Recruited by Dortmund to make up for the departure of Norwegian center forward Erling Haaland to Manchester City, Haller felt pain a few days after his signing during Borussia’s preparation camp in mid-July. The club’s doctors had announced that he was suffering from testicular cancer.
“From the first day when I returned home, I started working, I was in the gym, I already have the same level as I had a few months ago. It’s a good sign, ”said the 28-year-old Franco-Ivorian player, who played until the end of the previous season with Ajax Amsterdam.
“My first goal is to get back on the field, play in front of the yellow wall, and score my first goal in front of them. It will be an emotionally charged moment. I will be back on the pitch soon, ”he concluded, all smiles. Borussia Dortmund at the end of July spoke of a long absence of several months. To make up for his absence, the Ruhr club recruited Frenchman Anthony Modeste (34) for a season in August.
