The Frenchman endured a nightmare debut for Bordeaux after he was accidentally stepped on by Lorient midfielder Didier Ndong in a preseason friendly on Wednesday.
Jeremy Menez has undergone surgery after losing part of his right ear on his Bordeaux debut.
Menez, who joined from AC Milan on Monday, was accidentally stepped on by Lorient's Didier Ndong during a preseason friendly after falling to the ground under a challenge.
The forward was subsequently taken to the hospital where he underwent a procedure under local anesthetic to "sew up" the affected ear.
Ndong was remorseful following the gruesome incident, apologizing to Menez via a Lorient statement.
