But the 29-year-old only lasted 15 minutes after a collision with Lorient's Didier Ndong left him with his right ear hanging off.

Bordeaux medical staff did their best to patch Menez's ear together again, but he had to leave the pitch and may now require surgery.

The Ligue 1 club released a statement on Twitter saying that the striker may need to have surgery to repair his ear.

It's certainly not the start Menez would've wanted to life with his new club.

Bordeaux ran out 3-1 winners in the friendly in the town of Sarzeau on Wednesday night.
