Further blow for Adriano
Internazionale striker Adriano has picked up another injury just days after his return.
Internazionale striker Adriano has been dealt another injury blow just days after recovering from a troublesome knee ligament problem.The electric Brazilian striker had to be removed in the second half of the abortive Milan derby on Tuesday night as he complained of back problems.
Whilst a relapse of the knee problem that originally kept him out for three weeks was initially feared, it has now been confirmed that this is not the case.
Further tests are scheduled to ensure that no other complications are present, and the 23-year-old has been definitely ruled out of Sunday's Serie A clash with Cagliari.
However Roberto Mancini could be deprived of his attacking talisman for a more extended spell, as reports suggest that Adriano could struggle to make the massive fixture with Juventus on April 20.
The Milan outfit had only just welcomed the player back, and will once again rue the absence of the prolific front-man who has proved himself to be one of Europe's most exciting talents over the past season.
