ROME, April 3 (Reuters) - Brazil forward Adriano could face the wrath of Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho after another late return to the Serie A leaders from international duty this week.
"Adriano has not returned," read the club website (www.inter.it) on Friday following media reports he had missed his flight from his homeland.
The powerful striker, an unused substitute in Brazil's 3-0 win over Peru and a 1-1 draw with Ecuador in World Cup qualifiers, is likely to be fined and dropped from Inter's squad for Sunday's visit to Udinese, media reported.
The 27-year-old had edged back in Mourinho's good books after returning late from the winter break having irritated the coach with a perceived lack of commitment earlier in the season.
The affair is likely to increase speculation about the player's long-term future after Adriano said this week he would decide at the end of the season whether to extend his contract with the Italian champions, which runs until June 2010.
A late return from Brazil was among the incidents of indiscipline that led to friction between Adriano and Mourinho's predecessor Roberto Mancini.

Wouldnt they be between 80 and 90 years old? :jaw:
I want documentary proof :haha:
Its not the first either for the japs. in 1974 a former Army intelligence officer, Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda, was discovered in the rainforests of Lubang island in the Philippines, 30 years after being assigned there.
This is the best bit. Mr Onoda, now 83, refused to believe that the war had ended, and it was only when his former commanding officer was flown over from Japan that he agreed to leave the jungle. :haha:

does anyone have a link to the khaladze story?
Did anyone hear about the time Gary Lineker, Alan Smith and Steve Lynex kidnapped Jim ‘The Bald Eagle’ Smith’s Grandmother? They held her in a field in Grantham, tied her up, gagged and bound her, and took turns slotting a snooker cue up her bottom. They released her only when Smith agreed to start them all in an attacking triumvirate in their crucial away clash at Luton.

Brazil and Inter Milan striker Adriano is to take a break from football and "rethink his career".
"I've lost the happiness of playing," he told reporters on Thursday. "I wouldn't like to go back to Italy, I want to live in peace here in Brazil."
Adriano, 27, said he could not say how long he would stay away from the game.
"I don't know if I'm going to stay for one, two or three months without playing," said the former Flamengo star. "I'm going to rethink my career."
He said his agent, Gilmar Rinaldi, would be in contact with Inter next week and said he was aware his decision could cost him financially.
"Gilmar is going to Italy to ask for some time for me and it is fair that I am given no money," he said.
Adriano, whose contract with Inter runs until June 2010, also denied media reports of possible illness or addiction problems.
"I am not sick, alcoholic or a drug user," he said. "Everything I did was well thought out. I talked to my family, my friends and my agent, and I am doing this with my happiness in mind.
"I have nothing against Inter, I just did not like living in Italy. I felt pressured. A lot of people will not understand. It is a bad situation, not easy at all, but it is a choice."
Asked whether he could appear with a Brazilian club, Adriano said the only possibility would be Flamengo.
"If I play in Brazil, it will be for Flamengo. Otherwise, my grandmother would kill me," he joked.
Adriano failed to return to Italy after last week's World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Peru, in which he was an unused substitute.
On Monday, his agent said he had stayed in Brazil because of a private matter. Since then, Brazilian media has been full of speculation over what had happened to him.
The forward has struggled with fitness and alcohol problems since the 2006 World Cup, showing only flashes of the form that made him one of the world's most feared strikers.

The way people criticize him in here is hilarious. Top level sport is very very hard, harder than most jobs every anonymous Joe does, no disrespect to anyone. Yes it's a sport, seen as a 'pastime' by many but the competitiveness, the constant media attention and the need to remain amongst the best every time (providing you're a top level player like Adriano) is incredibly hard.
Therefore I think it's harsh for people to judge him. :handshake:
