AC Milan forward Alexandre Pato, expected to keep the league leaders soaring in the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimović, pulled up clutching his hamstring in the match against Sampdoria on Saturday. Milan went on to win 3-0, thanks to an impressive performance by substitute Antonio Cassano, but the news that Pato will be out for at least three games still creates a bit of a headache. Milan play Palermo on Wednesday in the semi-final of the Coppa Italia, and then face Brescia and Bologna. Despite Palermo beating Milan just a few short weeks ago, none of these clubs should trouble Milan, so if Pato had to get hurt, he might as well have done it now.

But six points clear at the top of the table, Milan have very little to worry about.
