The Ivory Coast attacker was diagnosed last week during the team’s pre-season training camp in Switzerland. “He had a successful operation last week,” said Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl. “He will definitely be out for a few months. “The operation went very, very well and he’s on the right track.” Dortmund paid Ajax 31 million euros ($31.5 million) for the 28-year-old earlier in the close season after he scored 47 goals in 65 appearances for the Dutch side. The club have not said if they will look for a short-term option to boost their attacking options in the absence of Haller, who was signed as a replacement for Erling Haaland after the Norwegian’s departure for Manchester City. Dortmund starts their season on Friday with a German Cup game at 1860 Munich.
