Fans, staff and players of the Flamengo soccer team were hugely disappointed on Friday when Adriano was confirmed to miss Sunday's heavy match against Corinthians for burn injury. With only two rounds left in this year's Brazilian Championship, Flamengo are in second place and has a chance to win the tournament. However, Adriano was officially removed from the lineup and will not even be placed on the reserve bench after the star striker was burnt on his left foot when he was allegedly enjoy riding on a friend's motorcycle on Thursday. 'His foot is inflamed. We had high hopes, but Adriano has a large blister on his left foot and will not be able to recover by Sunday. This couldn't come at a worse time,' said the team doctor, Jose Luis Runco. Adriano was visibly frustrated with what happened at such a delicate time in the tournament. Despite not being able to play, he intends on traveling to Sao Paulo to watch his team's second to last match. The striker claimed that he received the burn from a floor lamp in his garden, however, the injury is not consistent with story that rumored to be caused by an exhaust pipe from a motorcycle. 'It is unfortunate to have to sit out a game like this. I am sad that I won't be able to play, but it is something I will have to deal with. I will miss out on the opportunity to add to my goals scored in the tournament with the hopes of being named this year's most scoring player,' said Adriano, who leads the Brazilian Championship with 19 goals. Without Adriano on the field, Flamengo's head coach Andrade will most likely place Bruno Mezenga alongside Ze Roberto up front.
