Brazil striker Adriano has been given the all-clear to play in the Confederations Cup final against Argentina despite limping out of a training session on Monday. The bullish Inter Milan forward who scored twice in Brazil's 3-2 semi-final win over Germany jumped for a ball and appeared to land awkwardly, hurting a foot during a practice match. Brazil coach Carlos Alberto Parreira said he had been assured by the team doctor that the injury was nothing serious and that Adriano would be fit to play in the final in Frankfurt on Wednesday. "The doctor told me that it is nothing to worry about," Parreira told a press conference at the team's hotel. "Adriano is fine and he is feeling confident."
