Inter rubbish Adriano rumours
Friday 12 December, 2008

Inter have officially denied reports that Adriano was sent home from training yesterday for being under the influence of alcohol.

La Gazzetta dello Sport claimed this morning that Jose Mourinho had exiled L'Imperatore from training because he was showing the effects of a night out.

However, the Nerazzurri have issued a statement denying there's any truth in these rumours.

“In relation to the articles in a number of newspapers on Friday morning, Inter want to make it clear that Adriano underwent tests with the club's medical staff on Thursday due to a muscular strain he picked up against Werder Bremen,” it reads.

Some sources also suggested that defender Douglas Maicon was in the same position as Adriano.

“As for Maicon, he underwent an individual session which was scheduled for the players who played a major part in the game on Tuesday,” Inter's declaration concluded.
