Goal.com previously reported that Inter defender Maicon was a doubt for the Milan derby and now it appears another of the Nerazzurri's Brazilians, Adriano, is in jeopardy of missing the match as well.
Adriano got through Brazil's 2-0 win over Italy in midweek without any trouble, but on Friday, the former Parma striker complained of some pain in his thigh. The Inter doctors examined Adriano, but they did not find any serious injury, according to tuttomercatoweb.
Thus, it is still unknown if this slight muscle twinge will keep the 26-year-old off the pitch on Sunday evening.
The Brazilian has not played for Inter since the 1-0 victory over Sampdoria in January, when he scored the winning goal. Following the game, he was suspended for three matches using video evidence, that showed him punching an opponent at a corner kick.
The latest reports from the peninsula suggested Adriano was going to partner Zlatan Ibrahimovic up front in the starting line-up, but now that remains to be seen. Kick-off is at 20:30 CET at the San Siro on February 15.
