Pato To Miss Juve Clash?
Alexandre Pato could be set to heap more injury problems on Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti, as he is a doubt for tomorrow’s trip to Juventus.
The 18-year-old has had a sensational start to life in Serie A, hitting seven goals in just 14 league appearances.
Pato missed last week’s 3-1 win over Cagliari due to an injury to the abductor muscle in his thigh.
He was expected to recover in time for tomorrow’s big match against Juventus in Turin, however it seems that this will not be the case.
The Brazilian is currently rated as a doubt, with Pippo Inzaghi set to fill in as the lone frontman once again.
Pato’s injury heaps more problems on Carlo Ancelotti, who is already without a host of first team players.
Massimo Oddo is out for the season, Alessandro Nesta and Marek Jankulovski are both doubts, while Kakha Kaladze is suspended after picking up a booking against Cagliari.
Milan are struggling to qualify for next season’s Champions League as they are currently four points behind fourth-placed Fiorentina, with just six games of the season remaining.
