ALEXNADRE PATO will miss the upcoming derby with Inter that is on Sunday, in order to heal his injury. For a quicker recovery, the striker flew to Brazil.

Pato, 20, has been declared unfit to play, as his injury is going to last about 3 weeks. However, in order to get the best medicine treatment and recover faster, Milan sent the youngster to his homeland with a team physiotherapist.

The player picked up an injury during training, and the doctors at Milanello ruled him out of the clashes against Genoa, Novara and Siena, and now, if there will not be a miracle, he’s out also for the derby against Inter.
