Haller celebrates comeback in BVB test fixture

Amid conflicting reports on his recovery timetable, the Borussia Dortmund coaching staff opted to include Sebastien Haller in the matchday squad for today’s test fixture against Fortuna Düsseldorf. 

Afterwards, BVB trainer Edin Terzic spoke of a “very special moment” for the delayed BVB debutant. 

“This a very special moment,” BVB trainer Edin Terzic noted afterwards, “It was the first time he wasn’t wearing a bodice or a training shirt. We’re proud that he was able to mark this occasion.”

“It was a great moment for me. I felt a lot of support,” Haller himself added when speaking to the Sky mics, “I worked very  hard for this moment. It’s just a question of how well I work now. I just need some more time and then it will come by itself.”

Terzic said that the team’s medical staff would be closely monitoring Haller’s physical reaction to the 16 minutes played in the coming days. Should all proceed positively, Terzic said that they would gradually increase the Haller’s workload in the coming days.

The former Eintracht Frankfurt target man could be an option for the bench when his team resumes Bundesliga play in 12 days’ time. Die Borussen host FC Augsburg on Sunday, January 22nd.
