BVB Managing Director Hans-Joachim Watzke also told SID: “Of course we are all in shock. Our thoughts are with Sébastien and his family. The most important thing now is that he gets well again.” In addition to those responsible in Dortmund, Haller also received other messages.
Baumgartl with a personal message
Timo Baumgartl wrote about a screenshot of the Haller message in his story on Instagram: “You are not alone, Sébastien.” Baumgartl knows what he is talking about. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer in May. He recently told the “Bild”: “I’ve had all the chemotherapy that should be done, I’m fine, even if my hair has fallen out.” Baumgartl is open about it on social networks, shows himself with a cap and wrote about a picture with his teammates from Union Berlin: “Miss the boys”.
