AC Milan defender Kyle Walker underwent surgery on Tuesday after suffering a fracture to his right elbow, the Serie A club said.
The timeline for Walker's recovery was not disclosed, but the club said that the operation was a success and he will begin rehabilitation immediately.
The former Manchester City captain joined Milan on loan in January, with the Italian side having the option to buy the 34-year-old England international.
Walker has featured in 12 matches for Milan across all competitions since his arrival.
Despite a lacklustre season in Serie A with Milan ninth in the standings, they remain in the Coppa Italia and face rivals Inter Milan in the second leg of the semi-final on April 23 after a 1-1 draw in the first leg.
