The Bosnian suffered the problem while playing in Wayne Rooney’s testimonial against Manchester United, which ended in a goalless draw at Old Trafford.
The 23-year-old has had a tough time at Everton since his move to the Goodison Park club in 2014, with a succession of injuries limiting his game time.
Injuries have held the Bosnia worldwide back during his time at Goodison Park, but despite this has still quickly grown in to a fan favourite for his clear passion for the game.
Besic confirmed the news himself earlier on Friday morning via his Twitter account, revealing he was “devastated”.
The Bosnia worldwide was restricted to just 12 league games last season after a succession of hamstring injuries as the Merseyside club finished 11th in the league table.
Besic is a talented and promising defensive midfielder, but his career at Everton has been affected by injury problems.
Everton begin their league campaign against Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park on August 13.
