Inter Milan striker Adriano is set to be benched for their clash with Ascoli this weekend.
From training yesterday, it emerged that the Brazilian, along with Alvaro Recoba, will both start the match from the substitutes bench after playing in Tuesday night's
Champions League shocker at Villarreal.
Before training, coach Roberto Mancini spoke with his players for 15 minutes and invited them to discuss what went wrong at the El Madrigal.
Juan Veron, who reportedly clashed with Adriano during the game, was not to be seen as he recovers from an ankle injury.
Meanwhile, Adriano has told close friends he won't demand a transfer and has no intention of leaving Inter. The Brazilian is contracted until 2010 and is adamant he will leave his future in the hands of patron Massimo Moratti.
Adriano's form has been particularly poor the second half of this season, by his own high standards. Do you see a move in the near future for the big Brazilian, and if so where too?
