Brazilian striker Adriano says he will travel to his homeland for some rest after being knocked out against Empoli.

The Inter marksman received a blow on the head during the match and was unconscious for around a minute.

"I was very scared about what happened to me," he admitted to Radio Jovem.

"Now that the doctors have told me I am okay I have calmed down. They have said to me that I will be able to travel to Brazil on Friday so I will be able to rest with my family.

"I really don't remember too much about what happened, but what I want to say is that I am very thankful to all those fans that went to the hospital and were worried about me.

"It has been a really bad experience but now it's over, thank God. When I arrived at the hospital, the doctors asked me what I remembered.

"They say that I said I was very happy because I had scored a goal!

"Now it's time to get some rest for being able to come back in the best possible condition for training with Inter."
