Sebastien Haller has thanked Borussia Dortmund's medical team and hospital staff in his first social media post since being diagnosed with a testicular tumour.
Dortmund confirmed the 28-year-old's prognosis on Monday. Haller told the club's medical team he felt unwell at training and a tumour was discovered following medical tests. The Ivory Coast international has now completed the first step of his recovery.
"Hello everyone, I wanted to let you know that Step 1 has been completed!" tweeted Haller on Thursday evening. "I would like to thank 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."
