The Rossoneri forward endured a largely frustrating 2011-12 after being sidelined for long periods of time due to a range of niggling thigh setbacks.
However, the Selecao ace has now revealed that rehabilitation back in his homeland has rid him of such ailments, and that he is now keen to compete in the tournament.
“I had an imbalance of the posterior muscles and that caused problems for me,” the 22-year-old told Globoesporte.
“In the space of a month we re-balanced the muscles and I was able to get back on to the pitch.
“All those injuries were dramatic for me. I would recover, then two games later felt pain again. I am aware of my potential and will do everything I can to take part in the Olympics,” he admitted.
Pato came off the bench to mark a scoring return in Brazil's 4-1 friendly victory over USA on Wednesday.

If Marcelo came here he would probably play CAM for us...
Good news if it's true!
Marcelo is the best leftback in the world. Here, educate yourself
Evra is horrible lately and Cole is on a downhill spiral, both are too old.
never did he mention the support AC Milan gave to him during his injury woes, selfish!!!
According to GdS, Pato will be starting today vs Mexico. Thiago Silva will most likely be rested.

getting more game time,can only be good.
minus the miss, things are looking better.
2 games, no injuries![]()
If Ibra takes #10, then Pato can take 11. That's his favourite number, I remember from an interview in his first season... Pato is going to own next season 8)

If Pato is gonna be injury free in most part of next season, he will be like a new big signing![]()
will say if pato does go injury free and score 30 goals.
lol
if he plays all season, pato would go a long way to replacing that gap. Im sure a fit pato would score 20 goals +
