BERLIN (AP) — Hertha Berlin winger Jean-Paul Boëtius has been diagnosed with a testicular tumor. He is the fourth Bundesliga player to receive such a diagnosis this season. The 28-year-old Boëtius was given the news after a urological test on Wednesday and will undergo an operation on Friday. The club says he will “be out for the foreseeable future.” Boëtius’ teammate Marco Richter and Union Berlin defender Timo Baumgartl have recently returned from testicular tumors. Dortmund forward Sébastien Haller is undergoing treatment for a malignant tumor.
