Adriano did not make the Inter Milan squad that will face Chievo Verona this afternoon; officially due to an injury problem, according to the Nerazzurri camp.

The Via Durini club directors issued a statement on Friday to quash the rumours that were circulating in the Italian media, which alleged that a ‘tipsy’ Adri turned up for training at the Pinetina the day after the Champions League defeat to Werder Bremen.

La Gazzetta dello Sport claims today that the 26-year-old will depart Milan this evening and is expected back by January 2.

However, he has allegedly revealed to close friends and teammates that he will not wear the Nerazzurri shirt ever again.

Once in South America, he will meet with his agent Gilmar Rinaldi in order to sort out his future.

L’Imperatore is reportedly keen on staying in Europe, but the Beneamata powers that be are instead pushing for a move to his homeland.
