As reported by TalkSport, Haller then returned to light training at Ajax, as he sought to get match-fit again. Unfortunately for the player, he would still have to undergo surgery.

In November 2022, Haller announced surgeons would have to remove the tumour, The Guardian reported. He said at the time that it was the only way to permanently end that which was keeping him away from the pitch.
