Milan striker Alexandre Pato will miss the trip to Roma as a precaution so he can play against Manchester United in the Champions League next week.

Pato suffered a hamstring injury against Atalanta at the weekend, but Sky Sport Italia claim he has made a full recovery and was able to train with the rest of the squad at Milanello on Thursday.

But, despite his availability, Leonardo has decided to rest him so he can be fully charged for the European showdown against United at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

United lead 3-2 on aggregate following their win at San Siro a fortnight ago.
