Noa Lang: Galatasaray midfielder set for surgery on cut thumb after Champions League defeat by Liverpool

Galatasaray also confirmed that Victor Osimhen suffered a fracture to his right forearm in the first half.

The Nigerian striker fell to the ground holding his arm after a challenge with Ibrahima Konate in the eighth minute, but continued to play until Leroy Sane took his place at halftime.

Galatasaray said, “After the match, during the check-up at our hospital under the supervision of our medical team, it was determined that our player had a fracture in his right forearm and a plaster cast was applied.” he said.

“The decision regarding surgery will be made after a more detailed evaluation in the coming days.”

Buruk complained about the decision made by referee Pawel Raczkowski after Osimhen’s injury.

Buruk said, “When we looked at Osimhen’s position, we saw that Konate could commit these fouls very easily and commit all kinds of fouls easily.”

“While we were waiting for the best referee in the world, perhaps one of the worst referees officiated the match.”

Liverpool will face reigning champion Paris St-Germain in the quarter-finals.
