DORTMUND, Germany (AP) — Sébastien Haller has been included in Borussia Dortmund’s squad for a winter training camp in Spain. It is the latest step toward the Ivory Coast striker’s return to action following treatment for testicular cancer. Haller needed two operations and chemotherapy after the diagnosis emerged in July during pre-season training. That was shortly after Haller had signed for Dortmund and before he had played a game for his new team.
