Baumgartl, 26, added: “Fortunately, I have been going for preventive care for several years. I’m very grateful for the quick, clear diagnosis and for the surgery that has since gone well. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the incredible support from Charité, the team doctors and the club. I will never forget that. My focus now is on recovering as quickly as possible.”
