Milan duo to miss Lazio date
Tuesday 2 December, 2008

Alexandre Pato and Andrea Pirlo are set to miss out on Milan's Coppa Italia clash with Lazio on Wednesday evening.

The Rossoneri are looking to return to winning ways after a disappointing 3-1 defeat against Palermo on Sunday evening.

But Carlo Ancelotti's men should expect fierce resistance from Lazio, who are also trying to erase memories of a poor weekend, which saw them beaten at Atalanta.

Ancelotti, who saw a second-string side crash out to Catania last year, is expected to name a strong side for the Cup encounter, but he will have to do without Pirlo and Pato.

Pirlo, who has only just recovered from a long lay-off, is feeling sore after his efforts at the weekend and won't be risked.

Brazilian striking starlet Pato picked up a series of knocks against Palermo and had to come off after just 29 minutes.

Although the ex-Internacional man's injuries aren't serious, he will also be allowed to rest.
