Galatasaray confirm 'serious' Noa Lang injury as statement released

Noa Lang suffered a severe thumb laceration requiring surgery after colliding with advertising boards during Galatasaray's Champions League loss at Anfield, the club confirmed.

  • Galatasaray confirmed on Thursday that Noa Lang underwent surgery in Liverpool for a serious right-thumb injury requiring urgent treatment.
  • During the closing stages on Wednesday, Noa Lang appeared to catch his right thumb on an advertising hoarding after a tussle with Curtis Jones, causing a deep laceration at Anfield.
  • Club medics treated him on the pitch, giving Lang oxygen and attending for several minutes before he was stretchered off to a Liverpool hospital, with doctors from both clubs present.
  • Galatasaray were beaten 4-0 at Anfield, with Liverpool overturning the tie and setting up a quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain after goals from Dominik Szoboszlai, Hugo Ekitike, Ryan Gravenberch, and Mohamed Salah.
  • Further checks will determine if Noa Lang, who will be examined at hospital soon, needs surgery after suffering a severe finger injury, Galatasaray said.
