The Italy international's injury piles on the misery for the Rossoneri and under-fire coach Filippo Inzaghi. AC Milan have confirmed Stephen El Shaarawy has been ruled out for at least two months after suffering a compound fracture of his fifth metatarsal in Saturday's defeat to Lazio.
The Italy international played the full 90 minutes was powerless to prevent the Rossoneri falling to a 3-1 defeat, despite taking an early lead through Jeremy Menez.
News of El Shaarawy's absence has added to coach Filippo Inzaghi's troubles, with the 22-year-old now set for an extended period on the sidelines.
A statement on Milan's website read: "Stephan El Shaarawy has undergone medical tests with the specialist, Professor Niek van Dijk.
"The footballer, at the end of the game against Lazio, reported the compound fracture at the base of the fifth metatarsal bone on his right foot.
"He will be out for approximately six weeks and after this period we will carry out further medical checks under the supervision of professor Van Dijk, before he returns to action."
El Shaarawy has endured a frustrating last 18 months, with a separate foot injury keeping him out of action for several months last season.
In 2012/13 he emerged as one of Milan's star men, scoring 16 goals in 37 appearances in Serie A, only to feature just seven times in all competitions last term. Goal
