ROME (AFP) - AC Milan pair Ronaldinho and Mathieu Flamini are out of the club's Wednesday night match against Siena at the San Siro, the team's doctor said Monday.

Both players came off injured against Atalanta on Sunday and need a few days rest, according to Massimo Manara.

"(Ronaldinho) has twisted his knee. He underwent some tests today (Monday) and in the afternoon he will have an X-ray," he said. "I think he needs a couple of days of rest.

"(Flamini) arrived today with a problem with his thigh muscle. We need to keep him under observation for two or three days of rest."

On the hand, centre-backs Philippe Senderos and Kakha Kaladze are close to returning to action following injuries but may have to wait until Sunday.
