Massimiliano Allegri says that Alexandre Pato should return to the starting lineup for AC Milan's clash with Catania.

AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri has said that tomorrow's clash with Catania is "much more important" than last weekend's visit of Juventus.

The Rossoneri become only the second team to beat the reigning champions this season when Robinho converted from the spot on Sunday evening.

"This game will be much more important than the match against Juventus," said Allegri. "This is a match of fundamental importance to our league position.

"Catania are a point above us, and we want to follow up on our win over Juve."

Allegri also revealed that goalkeeper Christian Abbiati is still missing through injury, while Alexandre Pato is expected to return following a thigh complaint.

"Christian Abbiati has back problems and will only return when he feels better," he added. "Philippe Mexes will play though, alongside Mattia De Sciglio and Kevin Constant – I'm yet to decide who will be the other centre-back.

"Pato is training well and should be fit enough to play."

Milan sit ninth in Serie A.
