West Ham captain Declan Rice has wished former teammate Sebastien Haller a speedy recovery after the striker was diagnosed with a testicular tumour.
Ivorian international Haller, who joined Borussia Dortmund from Ajax this summer in a deal worth an initial €31million (£26.4m), had his diagnosis made public on Monday. He has left his club's pre-season training camp and will undergo a series of follow-up tests.
Dortmund have put out their own statement wishing the player a quick recovery, with sporting director Sebastian Kehl pledging that the club will do "everything in their power" for the 28-year-old. Rice, who played with Haller under Manuel Pellegrini and David Moyes at West Ham, has also shown his support.
