After Sebastien Haller, striker of Borussia Dortmund who has been treated for months for a tumor in the testicles, Jean-Paul Boëtius is another Bundesliga player who is diagnosed with the same disease.
The Dutch footballer will undergo an operation and treatment that forces him to leave the green field. This is stated in the statement made public by the Hertha Berlin club.
From the post of the German club, it is known that on Wednesday, during a urological examination, he was diagnosed with a tumor in the testicle. Therefore, the 28-year-old will undergo an operation on Friday.
“As sad as this news is at first, we are full of hope and faith that Jean-Paul will recover and return to our circle as soon as possible. Until he returns, he will have all the support he can get from us. We will stand together as a Hertha family and wish him the best. As soon as there is more information about the healing process, Hertha will inform. Until then, we ask you not to ask questions out of respect for his privacy,” said Hertha sports director Fredi Bobic.
