Galatasaray player has part of finger amputated after cutting it on sign
The Dutch forward Noa Lang, from Galatasaray, had to be substituted during the match where his team was defeated 4-0 by Liverpool in the Champions League round of 16, after cutting himself on an advertising board.
According to information from Turkish journalist Yağız Sabuncuoğlu, from the channel NOW, and the Spanish newspaper Marca, the athlete suffered a partial amputation of a finger.
The incident occurred 31 minutes into the second half. After falling near Liverpool's goal, Lang ended up catching his right hand on a metal advertising board.
The impact caused a deep cut that resulted in the partial severing of the thumb.
After the incident, the player was taken to a hospital to undergo surgery, according to Galatasaray's own information.
Emergency Care
The match was halted for several minutes while the player screamed in pain on the field, being consoled by his teammates.
The medical teams from Liverpool and Galatasaray struggled to stop the bleeding and perform the initial dressing.
Noa Lang needed to receive oxygen while being stretchered off and was taken directly to the hospital for emergency surgery.
Anfield workers were seen inspecting the advertising board shortly after the incident to identify any structural faults.
In an official statement, Galatasaray informed:
"Our player Noa Lang suffered a deep cut on his right thumb and is scheduled to undergo surgery in Liverpool in the coming hours, with our medical team present."
