Adri goes AWOL again
Friday 2 January, 2009

Adriano didn't arrive at training with the rest of Inter's players this morning, prompting fevered speculation about his future.

The former Parma enigma has been at loggerheads with Coach Jose Mourinho over the last few months due to his attitude to training and lack of first-team football.

Many pundits predicted that Adri would be sent out on loan during the winter transfer window.

However, Inter have repeatedly denied that L'Imperatore is headed for the exit.

But this morning the rest of the Nerazzurri players congregated for their post-Christmas meeting at Appiano Gentile and Adriano wasn't present.

Adri's compatriots Julio Cesar, Maxwell and Amantino Mancini arrived at Malpensa Airport at 10am, but there was no sign of the troubled striker.

While some sources suggest that Adriano is undergoing medical tests after damaging his thigh last month, there has been a silence from Inter and the mystery deepens.
