Soccer-Inter's Adriano left out again by Mourinho
MILAN, Nov 8 (Reuters) - Brazil striker Adriano has been left out of Inter Milan's squad for the fourth game in a row for Sunday's home clash with Udinese.
Adriano annoyed coach Jose Mourinho last month by not playing in his proper position, staying out late at a nightclub and turning up late for training.
"I don't have a problem with Adriano," Mourinho told reporters on Saturday.
"I will call him up when it is the moment to do it. Adriano will be sad and angry about my decision. He must continue to work and live like he has done this week. Then he will play again."
Mourinho added he was happy with the contribution made by reserve forward Hernan Crespo in the absence of Adriano.
Udinese and champions Inter are joint second in Serie A, a point behind leaders AC Milan after 10 games.
Inter drew 3-3 at Anorthosis Famagusta in the Champions League in midweek after errors from centre back Nicolas Burdisso gifted the Cypriots two goals. However, Mourinho is not worried.
"There have been individual errors but no overall defensive problems," he said.
