UPDATE 1-Soccer-Adriano misses training, club to take no action
* Agent blames communication breakdown after Adriano misses training
* Club director describes Adriano's explanation as plausible (adds details)
RIO DE JANEIRO, June 2 (Reuters) - Brazil striker Adriano missed training with Flamengo on Tuesday, two days after scoring on his debut for the team.
The player's agent Gilmar Rinaldo blamed a breakdown in communications and club director Kleber Leite said no action would be taken against the 27-year-old former Inter Milan forward.
"I don't understand. Adriano's absence was not planned," coach Cuca told reporters.
"We're going to wait for this afternoon's training session to see what happens. He's going to have to have a good excuse."
Adriano later turned up for the afternoon practice, had a meeting with directors and trained separately from the rest of the squad.
"He had been given permission (to miss training) and I think there was a communication problem," Rinaldi said in an interview on the Sportv cable channel.
Leite told reporters: "He's given a plausible justification and everything has been sorted out. This won't happen again. We can't make a storm in a teacup. Adriano has our understanding." Continued...
