Sébastien Haller was diagnosed with testicular cancer shortly after joining Borussia Dortmund from Ajax Amsterdam last summer. The striker is back in training and bursting with enthusiasm.
Sébastien Haller is eager to get back on the field for Borussia Dortmund. The centre-forward, who is back to full fitness, spoke about his long journey back to training at a media conference during Dortmund's camping in Marbella.
"It's the best feeling you can have. The only thing I can do is focus on the next day and try to stay fit and healthy. I'll do my best to return the trust that the club has placed in me," said Haller quoted via Ruhr Nachrichten.
Bild reported on Monday that Haller could celebrate his comeback tomorrow in the friendly against Fortuna Düsseldorf. According to the 28-year-old, however, this is “a decision that we make together with the coach and the doctors. Of course that's another challenge in games." Nevertheless, the following applies: "If I can play, I will play. There's nowhere I'd rather be than on the pitch."
Haller, who is currently doing very well, also has his sights set on the Bundesliga restart on January 22. against FC Augsburg . "Everything is possible. In my mind there are no limits. The only people who can stop me are the doctors and the coach. But I hope to be in the best shape I can be against Augsburg on January 22.”
