After the announcement of the testicular tumor of Sebastien Haller, many players have given their support to the Ivorian striker. His former clubs also showed their sympathy.
On Monday, July 18, Dortmund faced Valencia in a friendly match. Sebastien Haller was not on the game sheet. However, this absence did not alert fans and observers. It was only later in the evening that the German club communicated on the absence of its Ivorian international.
Dortmund explained that Sebastien Haller "complained of discomfort after training on Monday morning," explained Borussia in its statement. "In the course of intensive medical examinations," the German club continued, "a tumor was finally discovered in the testicles during the day. Further examinations will be carried out at a specialized medical center in the next few days."
The news spread like wildfire. Since then, many players have posted their support for the player. Former teammates, such as Declan Rice (West Ham) or simply players crossed on the lawns as Luka Modric, all held words to the 28-year-old player. His former clubs (Ajax, Auxerre, Utrecht or Eintracht Frankfurt) have also reacted.
Get well soon 🙏💪 https://t.co/qAs4uNJH89
