Sebastien Haller completes first stage of treatment for testicular tumour

The 28-year-old was sent for medical examinations on Monday after complaining of feeling unwell following training.

SEBASTIEN HALLER SAYS he has completed the first step of his treatment after being diagnosed with a testicular tumour.

Borussia Dortmund’s former West Ham forward complained about feeling unwell following training on Monday and immediate medical examinations detected the tumour.

Posting a picture from his hospital bed on Thursday, a smiling Haller tweeted: “Hello everyone, I wanted to let you know that Step 1 has been completed!

“I would like to thank the @BVB (Dortmund) and the medical team who were exceptional with me.

“A big thank you also to all the nursing staff of the hospital for their support – benevolence.”

Haller added prayer and flexed biceps showing strength emojis to the tweet.

The 28-year-old Ivory Coast international joined Dortmund from Ajax earlier this month for a reported £27million.

He signed a four-year deal, after scoring 32 goals in 36 appearances in all competitions for the Dutch club last season.

Haller spent one and a half seasons at West Ham, making over 50 appearances, before the Hammers sold him to Ajax for £20.25m in January 2021.

Dortmund quote tweeted Haller’s message and said: “Always a smile on his face…get well soon Seb!”

West Ham replied to their former player’s tweet: “We’re all with you, Seb!”, adding a heart emoji.

    Noooo!. Why must Federer age. The rest of them are grunting plebs by comparison whose forehands look like they’re shovelling cement.

    Hopefully his two sons take up tennis and dominate for an age.

    He looks like a right eejit in that blazer.
    Murray all they way for me, otherwise Rafa.
    Roger had his twin daughters playing on the practice courts at the weekend. Looks like they are more likely to take over from him, and I know how much you love women’s tennis Fred!

    Your reverse snobbery is on show Joan.

    His sons are younger, i shall wait for them to take over his mantle.

    Nothing to do with snobbery in either direction.
    He just looks like an eejit in the blazer…

    As a lover of all sports , probably the greatest sportsman I’ve seen , longevity, style , panache , brilliance , a lot of compliments are worthy for Federer, dignity probably the most apt !

    Time to hang it up??? He just lost a grand slam semi final in 5 sets. It’s not like he was beaten in the first round

    Only a matter of time before Raonic wins a major. His game has come on massively the last year or so and he’s improving the mental side too.

    Jason, the way I see it is this. He’s only won 2 slams this decade. One of which was the first one. That’s a lot of losses. Simply put, he’s never going to win another one, so why continue to lose? Djokovic slipped up and he still couldn’t take advantage. Continuing past this year, will eventually result in much earlier losses thus diminishing his lofty reputation. I’ll be surprised if next year isn’t his last on tour.
