Adriano misses another practice

The excuse/culprit this time?

Diarrhea.

Or so he alleges. Though his notorious behavior makes it hard to give him the benefit of the doubt.

The former Internazionale striker may have been at Flamengo for little over two months, but he has already started to exhibit the disciplinary problems he became known for in Italy.

After reportedly refusing to wear the club's No.9 shirt because it gives him bad luck, Adriano missed today's training with Flamengo.

It's his third missed practice since signing in May.

And with Luis Fabiano scoring goals like a mad man, hard to find a place for him ever at the national team level.
