It was a torrid night for Galatasaray in the Champions League at Anfield with the club confirming one of their players needs surgery. Image Credits: Imago Images Liverpool’s Champions League night at Anfield ended in a convincing win, but it was anything but straightforward for the visitors.

After half-time he did not reappear, and subsequent hospital tests revealed a fracture in his right forearm, with the club confirming that his arm has been placed in a cast while specialists decide whether surgery is required. Introduced from the bench, the Dutch international collided with the advertising hoardings late in the second half and suffered what the club described as a “serious” cut to his right thumb.

From his hospital bed on Merseyside, Lang posted a selfie alongside medical staff on Instagram, jokingly captioned “S*** happens” and confirming in a follow-up story that the operation had gone well while thanking fans for their messages. It will be some time before he and Osimhen are back on the pitch, but their updates at least provide a positive note after a disappointing night that ended Galatasaray’s European run and left Liverpool marching on to face PSG.
