Noa Lang on Thumb Injury: 'Still Here, But No PlayStation For Now'
Noa Lang has provided an update on the severe hand injury he sustained during Galatasaray's Champions League match against Liverpool. Describing his thumb as 'battered, but still here,' Lang detailed the extent of the damage, which occurred after a collision with an advertising panel – an incident currently under investigation by UEFA and both clubs. Initially, there were fears the injury might even require amputation. The same challenging away fixture at Anfield also saw Victor Osimhen suffer a fractured forearm.
For Lang, who is owned by Napoli and currently on loan at Galatasaray, the recovery timeline casts doubt on his availability for the upcoming Netherlands friendlies against Norway and Ecuador. The forward is hopeful of participating in the second fixture scheduled for March 31st.
Lang: 'I Can't Play PlayStation'
Speaking from Zeist, where the Dutch national team is gathering, the 24-year-old attacker shared, 'Doctors tell me the finger will survive. Of course, it's not easy at the moment; I can't play PlayStation, and even going to the bathroom or taking a shower becomes a problem.' He emphasized his priorities: 'I hope to play against Ecuador, but no risks – the World Cup is the most important thing.'
Lang joined Galatasaray on loan in January and has since made 11 appearances for the Turkish club, contributing 2 goals and 2 assists, including his last outing against Liverpool. Previously, during his time at Napoli, he made 27 appearances, scoring 1 goal and providing 2 assists. He also has an Italian Supercup title to his name, won with Napoli.
