Hertha BSC attacker Marco Richter did not have to submit to chemotherapy and returned to individual training on Monday. In Richter's case, an early diagnosis enabled surgeons at Berlin's Charité Hospital to remove 100 percent of the cancerous cells during a July 12th operation. The 24-year-old confided to Andreas Niklaus of German footballing magazine Kicker on Monday that he felt good, but felt no need to rush his return.
