Palermo chief Walter Sabatini insists there's no problem with Javier Pastore.

The Argentine was dropped to the bench for the thrashing by Roma.

Sabatini said: "(Delio) Rossi likes him a lot, as does (Maurizio) Zamparini.

"It was a tactical decision against Roma. The idea was to let him play the second half of a game that was already a walk over.

"Pastore is comparable with Diego, Sneijder and the first Zidane. There are enormous advantages and some little disadvantages."
