Corinthians-owned forward Alexandre Pato has admitted he returned to Brazil to overcome his persistent injury problems.

The 25 year-old, who is on loan with São Paulo, saw the final months of his time at Milan affected by a series of muscle problems, but is now getting back to his best in the Brasileirão.

"The billing I had until the period in which I played in Europe was not exaggerated and I think I came through," he told Estadao.

"Unfortunately I had a break because it was a period in which I got injured and it was not good, it was almost two years without a sequence of games.

"It was also why I returned to Brazil. I wanted to return to playing regularly without hurting myself, whilst I believe that when I have had a sequence, I have corresponded [with expectation].

"When I started to get injured, I travelled everywhere and did what I had to do, but the period of transition to the field was not done well, the work I did here in Brazil could have been done there."
