MILAN, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Goalkeeper Zeljko Kalac has been included in AC Milan's squad for Wednesday's Champions League match at Arsenal despite dislocating a finger in training.

Dida, who lost his first team place to Australian Kalac recently, has not made the squad though, a statement on Milan's Web site (www.acmilan.com) said on Monday.

The Brazilian suffered a back injury while sat on the bench during Saturday's 0-0 draw at Parma.

Third-choice keeper Valerio Fiori, who has not played for the European champions since the 2003/04 season, is poised to step in should Kalac's recovery suffer a setback.

Brazilian striker Alexandre Pato, 18, is also included in the squad for the last 16 first leg after shrugging off an ankle injury which has kept him out of the last three games. (Writing by Mark Meadows; Editing by Sonia Oxley)
