Alexandre Pato was told he could be out for three weeks with a hamstring problem.
MILAN:
AC Milan’s charge to the Serie A title suffered a hiccup when striker Alexandre Pato was told he could be out for three weeks with a hamstring problem.
The Brazilian limped out of Saturday’s 3-0 win over Sampdoria and Milan said in a statement that scans had showed a muscle pull. The absence of Pato and Zlatan Ibrahimovic means Robinho and Antonio Cassano are the only forwards available to the club.
