Adriano is confident he will be fit for Inter Milan's clash with Catania on Saturday. The Brazilian striker declared: "Today, it is as if it were a birthday. I've now been in the game seven years at Inter. It's a pity I had this muscle problem in preseason, but these are things that happen.

"I was doing well before that happened and I was proving myself to the coaching staff. I want to return to being the Adriano of the past.

"I hope I can be available to the coach for Saturday against Catania."
