Cameroon international Enzo Ebosse has been ruled out for the rest of the season at Udinese after due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Ebosse was forced off in the 3-1 defeat to Inter Milan at San Siro on Saturday evening.
Ebosse has since been diagnosed with a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.
He will go under the knife at the Villa Stuart clinic in Rome on Monday, performed by specialist Professor Mariani.
Ebosse, 23, joined Udinese last summer from Angers for €4m.
