Euro 2012 Tickets

Alexandre Pato, AC Milan

Milan striker, Alexandre Pato is hoping to recover from a thigh injury in order to play for the first leg of AC Milan’s UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie against Arsenal FC on 15 February. The return leg of the Arsenal game will be played in London on 6 March.

Pato is a doubt for the San Siro leg of AC Milan’s UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie against Arsenal FC after being laid off for over three weeks.

The 22-year-old Brazilian strained his left thigh after scoring the extra-time winner in his side’s Coppa Italia round of 16 game against Novara Calcio.

Pato scored twice in three group stage matches this season.

The groups in the preliminary round of Euro 2012 are completed.

The format used by the EHF starts out with 16 teams and one of the two purposes of the group play is ‘simply’ to reduce the field down to 12.

Europe has about 10-12 really strong teams, so the weeding out of the more marginal teams does not often create much excitement.

The teams which advance bring with them the points from the games that they have played against each other, this means that every game means a lot even when teams already know they will will and advance.
