Noa Lang is better, thanks for him. Leaving the field around ten minutes from the end of the Champions League match against Liverpool on March 18, the Batavian winger from Galatasaray severed his thumb in the gap of an advertising board placed behind the Reds’ goal line. “He suffers from a serious cut on his right thumb and must undergo surgery in Liverpool in the coming hours,” the Turkish team said at the time.
A week after this accident, the former Napoli player joined the Dutch team’s training camp at the KNVB campus in Zeist, with a huge bandage on his thumb, to prepare for the matches against Norway and Ecuador. Even if the Federation assured that Noa Lang would not play the first match, he wishes to play the second, “even if he does not want to take any risk”.
“I still hurt”
“I still have my thumb and, according to the doctor, it will survive,” Lang explained to Dutch media, after having undergone two operations. I was well taken care of in the hospital, the operations went well, although I still have pain. » And, because of this injury, certain actions of daily life have become complicated for him.
“I’m right-handed, so it’s not easy to go to the toilet and it’s also complicated to play the Playstation,” explains the man who spent a season at FC Nantes when he was little. But, fortunately, we play football with our feet. »
