Milan said in a statement that Biglia had suffered "a severe lumbar trauma" following an injury during Saturday's 1-0 Serie A defeat against Benevento.
"The player has undergone medical examinations that highlighted a fracture of the transverse processes of the first two lumbar vertebrae," said the club in a statement.
"A detailed prognosis will be issued in the coming days upon completion of all medical tests."
According to specialist websites, a fracture of the transverse process is a relatively rare injury that takes four to six weeks to heal but usually requires a further month's recovery time afterwards.
