"Milan" lost striker Pato for the month © EuroFootball.com

Striker Alexandre Pato, who suffered a thigh injury, will be out of the lineup for four weeks.

Just a hair away from moving to Paris St.Germain a few days ago, the Brazilian finally decided to stay in Italy but got injured during a country cup match against Novara.

In the 2-1 victory, Pato scored the winning goal, but after examinations it was revealed that he will have to rest for about a month.

In the Serie A championship, Pato scored once in 10 matches.
