Borini might be sidelined for three months

Liverpool striker Fabio Borini could be sidelined for three months as he is to undergo foot surgery, said the Premier League club.

Borini sustained the injury in the Reds’ 1-2 home defeat to Manchester United Sep 23 and “aggravated the problem resulting in a fracture” when on international duty with Italy’s Under-21 team ahead of their game against Sweden Friday, reports Xinhua.

“Typically, an injury of this nature requires a three-month rehabilitation period,” said the club in a statement posted on their website Wednesday.

The 21-year-old Borini joined Liverpool from Roma in the summer and has scored just once in 11 appearances.
