Galatasaray midfielder Noa Lang is set to undergo surgery in Liverpool after suffering a serious cut to his thumb. The injury occurred during a fixture at Anfield, according to reports from Sky Sports. Medical staff at the Turkish club confirmed the player requires a specialist procedure to repair the damage.
Lang travelled to the United Kingdom earlier today to meet with consultants. The Netherlands international is expected to begin his rehabilitation process immediately following the operation, per The Guardian. Galatasaray officials have not yet provided a specific timeline for his return to first-team action.
The 26-year-old joined the Istanbul-based side in a permanent transfer last summer. He has been a regular starter for the club during their domestic and European campaigns this season. The midfielder previously played for PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie before moving to Turkey. Galatasaray currently lead the Super Lig standings as they approach the final stages of the season, according to Reuters.
