LIVERPOOL, England —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.
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 on Wednesday.
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.
