UEFA has initiated an investigation following the injury of Galatasaray player Noa Lang, who got his hand caught between advertising boards. The placement and distances of the advertising boards that caused Noa Lang's injury are being thoroughly examined.
Noa Lang, wearing a Galatasaray jersey, suffered a serious injury after getting his hand stuck between the advertising boards during the match against Liverpool, prompting UEFA to take action. Following this unusual injury, the UEFA Disciplinary Committee began examining the technical details of the stadium where the match was played.
DISTANCE AND PLACEMENT STANDARDS UNDER REVIEW
According to reports in the British press, the focus of the investigation is on the distance of the advertising boards from the playing field and the gaps between the boards. UEFA officials are said to be examining whether the distance of the boards from the touchline complies with standards, whether the gaps between the boards pose a threat to player safety, and reviewing the pre-match reports from the field inspectors.
FUTURE DECISION AWAITED
It was emphasized that whether sanctions will be imposed on the stadium management or relevant units will become clear after the final report is prepared.
