Pato to miss the game too
Pato, Seedorf, Zambrotta miss Juve
Alexandre Pato, Clarence Seedorf and Gianluca Zambrotta are out of Sunday’s showdown with Juventus, confirmed Milan.
The trio of players will not be able to recover in time for the battle between second and third in Turin.
“Seedorf has a muscular strain in his right thigh,” read a statement on the official club website.
“Zambrotta has a problem in the tendon connected to the soleus muscle in his leg. Both are expected to recover in 10-15 days.
“Pato has bruising on his right thigh and his condition will be evaluated over the next few days.”
The only ‘good’ news in this comes from the fact all three had already missed out on Milan’s 5-2 demolition of Genoa last night.
It is therefore likely the same starting XI will take to the field against Juventus on Sunday evening.
This means David Beckham should play alongside Ronaldinho and Marco Borriello, while Andrea Pirlo has a supporting role connecting midfield and attack.
