Haller makes BVB return after cancer treatment

Less than six months after he was diagnosed with testicular cancer, Sebastien Haller was back on the field for Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday in a friendly game.

The Ivory Coast striker came on as a 74th-minute substitute for Dortmund in a 5-1 win over Fortuna Dusseldorf during a winter training camp in Spain before the Bundesliga season resumes next week.

Haller required chemotherapy and two operations, the second of them in late November, after he was told in July that he had testicular cancer. The diagnosis came two weeks after Haller joined Dortmund and before he played a game.
