Sebastien Haller, an Ivorian striker, is set to return to training with Borussia Dortmund after battling testicular cancer, which was discovered after he signed for BVB.

The 28-year-old striker has been out since July as he battled testicular cancer but could be in the running to make a return to fitness in the coming weeks

Haller, 28, joined Dortmund from Ajax in a €31 million deal as a replacement for the Manchester City-bound Erling Haaland, but was diagnosed with testicular cancer after complaining of “not feeling well” during Dortmund’s pre-season training camp.

There is hope at the end of the tunnel for Haller.
Following his diagnosis, Haller underwent treatment, including two successful surgeries, and he may be able to return to training in the coming weeks, according to reports in the German newspaper Bild.

Haller is expected to resume strength and conditioning training ahead of the Bundesliga’s resumption, then progress to some ballwork before finally training with the rest of the team as he hopes for a miraculous return to football after a harrowing diagnosis and experience.

Haller is hoping to repay the favor.
Haller previously played for Auxerre, Utrecht, Frankfurt, West Ham, and Ajax, where he scored 47 goals in 66 games over two seasons, prompting BVB to sign him in the summer of 2022.

With the worst hopefully behind him, Haller can now look forward to rejoining his new team and finally playing a competitive match for BVB, as he had not yet played in a league or cup fixture for them at the time of his cancer diagnosis.
