At some point you have to stop blaming the milan lab for pato even a 30-year-old ronaldo who ruptured his knee ligaments every couple of season who even at his peak spent a reasonable amount of time in the treatment room was able to have less injury concerns at his brief time at milan than pato in the last couple of seasons. Saying that it looks like another muscular injury off-hand i think abate aquilani and nocerino have all had this problems in the last couple of months, overall it always seem to be this period of the season when the injuries start to really crop up.
btw sad to see taiwo leave without even having a reasonable chance in the first team best i hope for is that he can make some serious cash for milan in the summer or has a good period on loan and rejoins the team in summer
MilanLab gets a lot of criticism because of its silly name. You picture all of these super genius scientists running around holding beakers and other lab supplies, finding cures for cancers and making perfect clones. The fact is that every team has a medical staff that is providing the same level of care/therapy as Milan's.
The truth is that injuries happen in sports. Milan can try their best to make sure that its players are in great enough shape to handle the rigors of a full season, but anything can happen.
The issue I think is that our team suffers from injuries, not because of any failure by the "laboratory", but by the fact that we have
1. old players who are not as strong/durable as younger players and
2. injury prone players (PATO)
Anyone watch basketball? It didn't matter how great Grant Hill was over the years when he played - his teams always suffered because he was out so often. Same with Tracy McGrady. Same potentially with Andrew Bynum. Teams can't succeed if their important player(s) get hurt easily. That's why it's time to move on from Pato. I had enough after he got injured in the Udine game last year. We always want younger players at Milan, but it's ironic that our youngest great player is less reliable than our elders.

I do worry about Pato.....I love him, but its like 12 hamstring injuriesw in two years?
What now........Maxi Lopez? Tevez? I really hope all these players come back soon otherwise CL is looking bad : (
"AC Milan announces that Alexandre Pato has now undergone diagnostic investigations and specialist medical advice. It 'was diagnosed with a high amount of non-muscle injury to the biceps femoris of the left thigh. The prognosis is three / four weeks, unless there are complications. "
Welcome Gazzy...
Pato injury worrying.. I'm waiting for Hitman to post any moment....
So long Taye...
whats the point... i have nothing to gain proving that my team was wrong in not accepting the bid for pato... we all lose. I can't care less about being right......
in one week, after dubai, we lost aquilani, boateng and pato to a 4 week injury each.... MilanLab definitely is responsible for their training regimes.... but I wouldn't blame Pato's injury only on Milanlab, his track record proves otherwise.....
how nice did does that 27m and Carlos Tevez look now...

FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAYBE ITS TIME TO SACK MILANLAB AND GET REAL DOCTORS? 
OFFICIAL: Taiwo joins Queens Park Rangers on loan for the rest of the season.
We still have 3 LBs at this moment. Wonder who will be our starting one for the rest of season.
In addition i would like to point out sometimes this club just doesn't help itself in terms of injuries bringing back strasser is just foolish he is supposed to be out until march it just sounds like he has swapped lecce treatment table for milans.

I remember a time when Milan Lab was something our enemies were jealous off. A medical facility that was reknown all over the world and had the best kind of injury prevention + energy regeneration techniques in the world.
It seems nothing is left of this. Have we been following the same course as our player transfers and recruited lesser doctors. We used to have that world-leading innovative Belgian guy on our team. Did he resign ?
With the same frustration in my head, I'm curious why every player is out exactly for the same period-one month? It sounds like generized protecting, recharging kind of healing. Unless the club really has confidence in Merkel and El Sharaawy and our market, this is too anxiety leading provided not totally necessary.
Can someone post up our fixtures for the next 4 weeks?
I want to see which matches Boateng, Pato, Aquilani, Gattuso, Yepes and the others are going to miss.
Seriously, our injury list is quickly becoming a perennial joke. It happens every single year, every single January, and screws up our team building and fitness. For three years in a row we've been able to excuse our last 16 round CL exits to injuries to first team players. Well enough it enough. I say someone sort out our annual injury problem and run a program that won't kill off our players.
If it's because of Dubai, then just don't go there. So be it. We can't afford these yearly slip-ups anymore!
SORT THIS OUT MILAN!!
Milan Lab *was* unique at some point, now not so much and even if so it's not doing a great job, we have to live with it. Management have a bigger picture thing to decide, is Milan a big team or do we have to hope for Galliani negotiating skills every mercato?
