Pato blow for Milan

ITALIAN champions Milan have been hit by another injury blow with star striker Alex Pato being ruled out for a month.

Pato picked up a thigh injury in Wednesday's 1-1 with Udinese at the San Siro.

He joins Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robinho, Gennaro Gattuso and mathieu Flamini among those queing for the Milan treatment table.

They are still just 1-3 to beat Cesena in Serie A on Saturday and are 6-4 to retain their Scudetto, after it was announced that former Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri will take over from Gian Gasperini at their arch-rivals Inter.
