Liverpool 's Italian striker Fabio Borini
is to undergo surgery on a fractured
bone in his foot and could face three
months out of action, the club
confirmed Wednesday.
Borini first sustained an injury to his
foot in the Reds' 2-1 home defeat to
Manchester United on September 23,
Liverpool said in a statement on their
website.
The club said the 21-year-old then
"aggravated the problem resulting in
a fracture" when on international duty
with Italy's Under-21s ahead of their
game against Sweden on Friday.
"Typically, an injury of this nature
requires a three-month rehabilitation
period," the statement added.
Borini, who joined Liverpool from
Roma in the summer, has scored just
once in 11 appearances for the
English Premier League side.
His absence leaves the club with just
one recognised striker in Uruguayan
Luis Suarez .
