Pato confident AC Milan can cope without Zlatan

The Swedish striker was handed a three-match ban after being sent off against Bari last weekend.

“Ibrahimovic is obviously very important for us. His absence is a great loss for us. However, we have some great champions who have what it takes to play very well,” said Pato to Corriere dello Sport.

Ibrahimovic is set to miss the games against Palermo, Inter and Fiorentina.
