AC Milan have confirmed that Jeremy Menez will see a specialist for a recurring back problem.
The 28-year-old has struggled with the injury in recent months and had a hernia removed in June.
He sat out his team's training session today and is due to fly out to Monte Carlo to see the specialist who performed his most recent operation.
Menez, who scored 16 goals for the Rossoneri last season, will not play in his side's league opener at Fiorentina this weekend.
