OGC Nice midfielder Younes Belhanda will miss the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals after sustaining a toe injury.
The Morocco international got injured during Nice's goalless stalemate with Bordeaux in the French Ligue game on Wednesday.
The club released the following statements about the former FC Schalke attacking midfielder's injury.
"Younes Belhanda is suffering from a broken toe, and will be sidelined 4-6 weeks," a statement read on Nice's official website.
Another statement said he had: "undergone medical examination on Thursday. It determined the diagnosis in a definitive manner."
