Noa Lang recently shared a photo of himself with a cast on his hand following surgery for a severe thumb injury. The injury occurred during Galatasaray’s match against Liverpool, where Lang had to be taken off the field due to the seriousness of the injury.
Lang underwent surgery for a significant cut on his thumb sustained from colliding with the advertising hoardings at Anfield. Following the surgery at Whiston Hospital, Lang updated his followers on Instagram, expressing gratitude for the well-wishes and stating that the surgery went well.
In addition to Lang, his teammate Victor Osimhen also suffered a serious injury during the match, with the club confirming a fractured forearm for Osimhen. The two players shared a moment of solidarity through a Facetime call, both sporting casts and finding humor in their shared predicament.
