Borussia Dortmund striker Sebastien Haller said Monday that he remains optimistic about playing in his team’s first competitive match as early as Jan. 22, as he recovers from testicular cancer.
Speaking from the German team’s winter training center in Marbella, Spain, Haller said he was doing his best to be fit for the home game against Augsburg while saying he would listen to the advice of Dortmund’s medical staff.
