Date for comeback unclear
This article first appeared at 2:47 p.m. on October 13, after Boëtius began individual training, and was updated this Tuesday.
Jean-Paul Boëtius from Hertha BSC is part of the Berlin team training again after his testicular cancer operation. The 28-year-old midfielder, who has been training individually for the past week, returned to the pitch to applause from his team-mates. However, a date for his comeback in a blue-white game has not yet been given. During a urological examination in mid-September, the Dutch summer addition was diagnosed with a tumor in the testicles. He did not need chemotherapy after the surgery.
“We’re happy, that’s the beauty of the day. You can tell by the noise level and the laughter,” said Hertha coach Sandro Schwarz after training on Tuesday before the home game against FC Schalke 04 on Sunday, “It’s good that we have him back on the pitch after such a short time. “

“Hey guys, Djanga there, I was back on the pitch. I want to thank you again for the support and the good news. And I hope to see you again soon in the stadium,” said Boëtius himself in a short video message last week. Back in June, Marco Richter was the first Herthaner to have a testicular cancer operation, but he also didn’t need any chemotherapy – in contrast to Bundesliga colleagues Timo Baumgartl from local rivals 1. FC Union and Sébastien Haller from Borussia Dortmund. Baumgartl has already celebrated his comeback, as has Richter, Haller will be out for a while.
