Borriello out for two months

Marco Borriello will be out of action for up to two months after tests revealed damage to the meniscus ligament.

The Milan striker sustained an injury during training last week and was sent to Antwerp for a consultation with specialist Professor Marc Martens.

Tests confirmed the external meniscus ligament in his right knee was damaged and will require keyhole surgery, to be performed tomorrow.

Borriello will be sidelined until the end of September, but it is unlikely the Rossoneri will go back on to the transfer market.

The club has already confirmed it will keep hold of Alberto Paloschi instead, as he was set to join Torino on loan.

Borriello and Pippo Inzaghi are both injured, while Kaka is recovering from knee surgery and Alexandre Pato and Ronaldinho are at the Olympics.
