It was a bang of the most negative kind that Borussia Dortmund had to report last summer. Sébastien Haller, who has just been signed as a king transfer from Ajax Amsterdam, will be out indefinitely. Diagnosis: testicular cancer.
Chemotherapy and surgery followed. When Haller will be on the field for the black and yellow for the first time was completely open and also a minor matter. The long-awaited comeback is now faster than expected.
In today’s 5-1 friendly win against Fortuna Düsseldorf, the center forward came on for Youssoufa Moukoko in the 74th minute to applause from those present. The Ivorian was immediately involved in Dortmund’s offensive game and appeared fit and well-trained. The final liveliness and the associated danger of scoring in the sixteen were still missing, but the beginnings are absolutely visible. And most importantly, he is healthy.
