Noah Lang released a photo of his hand in a cast after undergoing surgery for a serious thumb injury. Lang suffered a serious injury in Galatasaray’s 4-0 defeat to Liverpool on Wednesday night, requiring oxygen and having to be taken away on a stretcher.<\/p>\n
He was taken to hospital and underwent surgery for a “serious cut” on his thumb, which he sustained when he crashed into an advertising street at Anfield late in the Champions League last-16 match.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old suffered and Galatasaray have since threatened legal action against UEFA. Lang has been recovering since undergoing surgery on his right thumb at Whiston Hospital and posted a photo on Instagram with the caption: “The surgery went well! Thank you for all the messages.” He previously posted, “This kind of thing happens.”<\/p>\n
Lang was not the only Galatasaray player to sustain a serious injury during the match, with striker Victor Osimhen also absent with an arm problem, which the club later confirmed was a broken forearm.<\/p>\n

The two affected teammates spoke on Facetime Thursday and seemed relieved to know they were in a similar situation. Posting a screenshot of the two laughing and holding up casts, Lang tagged Osimhen and wrote “twins” with a heart emoji.<\/p>\n
While the players are trying to stay positive, Galatasaray are considering their options following Lang’s freak injury. “After the match, we lodged a complaint with UEFA representatives. They also conducted an investigation,” club general secretary Elai Yazgan said.<\/p>\n

“UEFA will assess this matter. We are in negotiations with our lawyers. We will file a compensation case against UEFA. We will ask for the compensation damages to be removed.”<\/p>\n
The club released a statement regarding both players, saying: “During the first half of the away match against Liverpool in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, our player Victor Osimhen suffered a blow to the arm and finished the first half, but half-time tests revealed that he was unable to play in the second half due to the risk of breaking his arm.”<\/p>\n

“After the match, tests at the hospital under the supervision of the medical team revealed a fracture in the player’s right forearm, which was placed in a cast. Following further tests, a decision on surgery will be made in the coming days.”<\/p>\n
“Later in the same match, our injured player Noah Lang sustained a serious injury to his right thumb and will undergo surgery in the next few hours in Liverpool with the participation of our medical team.”<\/p>\n
