Ex-Brazil striker Adriano set for April debut with Miami United

Xinhua, March 17, 2016 Adjust font size:

Former Brazil international striker Adriano is poised to make his debut for Miami United next month, according to Brazilian media reports.

The April 24 fixture will be a friendly against National Premier Soccer League (NPSL) rivals Las Vegas City, Lancenet reported on Wednesday.

The NPSL is equivalent to US football's fourth tier.

Adriano, who signed with the Florida outfit in January, has not played since representing Brazil's Atletico Paranaense in the Copa Libertadores in early 2014.

The 34-year-old former Inter Milan star has been training alone in recent months and has reportedly lost about 10 kilograms.

Beset by injuries and personal problems, Adriano has played just 10 matches in the past five years. Endit
