Adriano wants AS Roma to grant him leave to return home to Brazil.
The striker, who reportedly wants to celebrate his birthday on February 17 with friends, is currently out injured with a shoulder problem.
"Adriano has spoken with the club to see if he can go to Brazil," Gilmar Rinaldi told Vocegiallorossa.it.
"We have to wait and see what the club's response to that request is. But there is plenty of time, it's not an immediate thing."
