Fiorentina - Milan, Feb 3, 2008, 19:30

if he doesn't play against siena he will surele be fit for arsenal match

Ancelotti say 48 hours and will surely know is he injured or not so that all folks we will wait and pray for Pato

Anyway we won one of the most important games of the season. But i'm too worried at the moment. Hope it's nothing serious. And i guessed Carlo is not that worried.

I watched this match by a Juventino friend of mine and things were shaping up to be an entertaining match in the first few minutes. Then Milan started playing pure crap and the Viola looked like they were the European champions and not us. If I were at home I would probably have fallen asleep like I did during that awful Reggina game.

Kalac was MOtM easily as he saved us on numerous occasions today. Pato had a goal of class but I'm really saddened by that injury. It doesn't look too bad, and with some immediate treatment he should be back playing soon. Gilardino started off brightly then faded as the match went on. Kaka...no comment.

well, winning is always sweet :P, but looking at our injury crises we do not look good in the coming matches, i mean pato, ronaldo, gatusso, yanko does not seems to be returning before a month(they will probably missing our CL matches), and that may go for inzaghi, so that leaves us with gila alone up front, as much as i saw gila improving lately but i still can't consider him as trust worthy, at least not yet, so we have a lack in the attack i don't think it is easy to recover, and we have some midfielders missing so there is no rest for kaka, prilo and ambro, which means a drop of form might be a head, now i think the midfield can do just fine if ancelotti gives gorcouff some chances to play, i do believe entring favalli at the end was totally useless, it is like inviting them to just attack us, i know the game has like 12 - 15 minutes to be done with added time, but still the frensh guy would have made them busy for a while istead of just ask them to attack, and we would have prepared a midfielder for the coming period,in which he would/should play a good part in.

anyway it went well, hoping the best for pato, although the gazzetta dello sport says that the brasilian was still crying in milan locker room when he first entered, this is just sad :S.

That really depends on the severity of the injury. It looked pretty bad, and in this case I doubt they will take any chances with him, because it could further aggravate the injury if he starts playing too soon. But we will see, it could be that the pain he felt did not equal the severity of the injury he sustained.

Carlo says he won't go with Brazil but he doesn't seem that worried.

Sprained ankle are not very serious if taken care of properly. if not then we are so f.........

hwmook knowing our medicals Pato will be fine

Initially I thought he rolled the ankle badly and then the Fiorentina player who was clearing the ball made contact with Pato's ankle on the follow-through. Thank goodness there was no contact because that would've meant a fracture and a long-term absence from the side plus rehabilitation.

But judging by Pato's reaction who knows the severity of things. Maybe a little longer than we would like.

It will make getting 4th a lot harder and Paolo's dream of lifting the Cup in Moscow much, much more difficult.

Here's where we'll see Carlo's true worth as manager. It will certainly be an interesting few weeks ramping up to the Arsenal series.

I'm sitting here with a totally ambivalent feeling in my body. I'm happy because we won a diffucult game, which was a 6-pointer, but we lost Pato and probably also Seedorf due to injury.

Ronaldo, Inzaghi and Pato are injured while Gilardino is suspended for the next game. Who is gonna play the next match in front? Paloschi?

Honestly I would have preferred a draw today and still have Pato and Seedorf in good condition.

But ragazzi, remember: NEL BENE E NEL MALE; FORZA MILAN!

I think its the opposite, he felt much pain than the severity of the injury, normally I`m no doctor, I just talk form personal experienced... I twisted my ankle several time, It hurts a lot at the moment, but in couple of days you are ok...and i`m guessing they have specific therapy that will help him a lot.

Did anyone else notice that we haven't conceeded a goal in three games? It's a new record for us this season. Things are certainly looking better now
And Nesta was just immense tonight. Definitely our Man of the Match!

Well that's what I meant too
