This is the third time that Adriano has missed training with Flamengo since signing for the club on a free transfer in May.

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.

According to GLOBOESPORTE, Adriano called coach Cuca explaining he was in no condition to participate in the training session and that he would join up with the rest of the squad at the hotel where the team will be meeting ahead of Saturday's league match against Vitoria.

Flamengo are expected to comment on this matter before the end of today, but according to the Brazilian press, Adriano alleged he was suffering from diarrhea.
