Galatasaray striker Noah Lang, 27, almost lost his thumb in a horrific accident during the game. Currently, it is difficult to use the bathroom.
Britain's 'The Sun' said on the 25th (Korea Standard Time), "Lang, who was on the verge of having his thumb amputated after hitting a billboard, fortunately completed the surgery safely. However, he is complaining of serious inconvenience in daily life," he reported.
Lang suffered a serious injury to his right hand during the second leg of the round of 16 of the "2025-26 UEFA Champions League" against Liverpool at Anfield in Liverpool, England on the 19th. At that time, Lang lost a lot of blood and his condition was serious enough to require immediate surgery.
The media said, "Lang had to tremble in fear that she might have to amputate her thumb due to a severe tear."
Fortunately, the worst was avoided. Lang, who appeared with a big bandage in training for the Dutch national team, said, "My thumb is still safe. I think it will be possible to sew it again, and I expect the doctor to recover safely."
However, daily life is very inconvenient because of the severely damaged fingers. Lang said, "I can't play PlayStation right now. Besides, I'm right-handed, so when I go to the bathroom, this is never a light problem. I definitely need someone's help when I go into the shower," he said bitterly.
I also recalled the dizzying situation at the time of the accident. Lang said, "I tried to mitigate the impact with the billboard, but it was quite sharp than I thought. The tip of my thumb was shaking," he said. In fact, Lang was caught on the broadcast screen holding his thumb and rolling around on the ground in pain.
The media said, "Even Liverpool midfielder Dominique Sobosley, who was next to him, couldn't bear to see the terrible scene."
Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, the UEFA, Liverpool, and Galatasaray clubs launched an investigation into the cause of the accident. However, Lang said at the hospital, "What happens is what happens. The surgery ended well and I'm grateful to everyone who sent me a message," he said with a firm attitude.
Galatasaray, his team, plans to respond strongly. Galatasaray Secretary-General Eraiyazuga said, "We strongly protested to UEFA officials shortly after the match, and they are also conducting their own investigation. We are currently discussing this with our lawyers," he said, adding, "We will file a lawsuit against UEFA for damages. "We plan to demand compensation for damages in terms of pay caused by the player's absence from injury," he said.
