UEFA Champions League: Galatasaray winger Noa Lang provided a reassuring update after undergoing successful surgery on his injured thumb, following a painful incident during the Champions League round of 16 encounter against Liverpool at Anfield on Wednesday.

The 26-year-old Netherlands player sustained the injury in the 76th minute after crashing into the advertising hoardings while chasing the ball. Lang immediately went down in visible pain, clutching his right hand after noticing a deep cut to his thumb.

Players from Liverpool, including Alisson Becker and Virgil van Dijk, rushed to check on him as medical staff attended to the winger. Lang, who appeared to be in severe discomfort, was given oxygen before being stretchered off the pitch.
