ANKARA

A tumor was discovered in Borussia Dortmund's new signing Sebastien Haller's testicles, the German club announced on Monday.

The Ivorian forward had to leave the training camp for intensive medical examinations after complaining of being unwell in the training.

"This news today came as a shock to Sebastien Haller and to all of us," the club wrote from its official website, "The entire BVB family wishes Sebastien a full recovery as soon as possible and that we can hug him again soon."

Haller joined to Dortmund from Ajax Amsterdam on July 6.

The French-born Ivorian player won back-to-back top-tier Dutch Eredivisie titles in 2021 and 2022 while playing for Ajax.

Haller scored 21 goals to be the Dutch league's top scorer in the 2021-22 season. He also scored 11 Champions League goals last season.

Apart from Ajax, he has also played for French club Auxerre, Dutch team Utrecht, Germany's Eintracht Frankfurt, and England's West Ham United.
