Doctors have saved the thumb of Galatasaray and Netherlands national team player Noa Lang. The incident occurred during the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 match against Liverpool. Lang cut his thumb on a sharp edge of an advertising board. The 26-year-old player required urgent surgery. Doctors successfully performed the procedure, preventing amputation. Lang has now recovered and has rejoined the national team. 'I still have my thumb,' the player said. 'The doctor confirmed I will not lose it. I got my finger caught on something sharp behind the advertising board. I was well cared for during the operations, but I'm still struggling, especially with daily tasks like going to the bathroom. I can't play PlayStation anymore, but luckily, football is played with your feet. I received help from everyone.'
