Following the discovery of a tumor in his testicle, Sebastien Haller has departed Borussia Dortmund’s preseason training camp in Switzerland, according to the German club.
The 28-year-old international from the Ivory Coast just transferred from Dutch club Ajax to the Bundesliga team.
Haller “complained that he felt poorly after training on Monday,” according to Dortmund, and following medical examinations, “a testicular tumour” was found.
Further examinations will now take place “over the coming days”.
“This news today came as a shock to Sebastien Haller and everyone else,” said Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl.
“The entire BVB family hopes that Sebastien makes a full recovery as soon as possible and that we can give him a hug again soon.
“We’ll do everything in our power to ensure that he receives the best possible treatment.”
The Ivorian is expected to hit the ground running in the Bundesliga just like his African counterpart and Gabonese captain Aubameyang lived up to the billing for the Black and Yellow.
