M’Baye Niang got some bad news as he fractured a bone in his foot against Bayern Munich yesterday.

The Audi Cup was a bad experience for Milan as they lost twice, conceding five goals and scoring none, while losing players to injuries. Montolivo today had to leave the pitch and be driven to the hospital with cervical trauma while Zapata and Niang got injured against Bayern Munich and already returned to Milano.

Niang and Zapata underwent tests today and Sinisa Mihajlovic confirmed in the post-Spurs match press conference that “Niang has fractured his fifth metatarsal.” It’s the same injury that Stephan El Shaarawy (now a player of Monaco) was dealing with for the majority of the last season so it might be a while before the Frenchman returns.

“AC Milan announces that during last night’s match against Bayern Munich, M’Baye Niang took a knock to his right foot and fractured the fifth metatarsal bone. Over the coming days, the club’s medical staff will decide the course of treatment for the French forward,” a statement on Milan’s website reads.

Sky quickly reported that Milan could now try to sign a striker to replace Niang but it’s early to draw such conclusions. M’Baye had a positive pre-season and it remains to be seen when he’ll return.
