<p>Inter Milan striker Adriano will take part in a benefit All-Star Game organised by Brazilian legend Zico next week.</p>
<p>Adriano&#8217;s participation is the match, which is due to be played next Tuesday at the Estadio Maracana in Rio de Janeiro, is a curious situation given Inter allowed him to return to his homeland earlier this week because of a muscle injury.</p>
<p>The striker had been ruled out of Inter&#8217;s game at Siena on Saturday because of the injury, prompting the club&#8217;s decision to allow him to return to Brazil ahead of the upcoming winter break.</p>
<p>However, he looks set to play some role in Tuesday&#8217;s match after an organiser of the event, Junior Coimbra, confirmed his participation.</p>
<p>&#8220;Adriano has arrived in Rio and confirmed his presence in the All-Star Game,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are still waiting for the confirmation from a few other players, both local and international.&#8221;</p>
<p>Money collected from the game will be donated to charity and to help the thousands of victims of the floods in the state of Santa Catarina which killed 128 people.</p>

<p><strong>Madrid have announced that they have dismissed their coach on Tuesday morning and reports state that Juande Ramos has been installed and will take training at the club this afternoon.</strong></p>
<p>Bernd Schuster has been sacked by Real Madrid, the Spanish giants have confirmed after a series of meetings on Tuesday morning and is reported to have been replaced by Juande Ramos.</p>
<p>With Predrag Mijatovic said to have been at the forefront of the move, he had already lined up Ramos and the former Sevilla and Tottenham Hotspur coach will take training on Tuesday afternoon after a brief presentation.</p>
<p>The German coach has paid for the turmoil on the pitch and apparently for his comments off it after he stated that Los Merengues could not beat Barcelona this weekend.</p>
<p>Despite leading the club to the league title last term, his inability to produce an attractive and consistent team this season has meant that he has now paid the price.</p>
<p>Sporting director Mijatovic was reported to have been very unimpressed by the trainer&#8217;s outburst to add to the poor performances in recent weeks and was intrumental in his sacking.</p>
<p>Ramón Calderón had previously wanted to retain Schuster&#8217;s services for fear of a backlash against him, but he was persuaded to make the move after Sunday&#8217;s defeat by Sevilla.</p>
<p>Madrid are now said to have appointed former Sevilla and Tottenham Hotspur coach Juande Ramos and he will be at the Bernabéu for the game against Zenit on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Schuster, 48, took over at the Bernabéu after Fabio Capello was dismissed because his style of play was not said to be entertaining enough despite securing Madrid&#8217;s first championships for four seasons and now the club have removed another title-winning coach.</p>
<p>The former Madrid, Atlético and Barcelona player was warned about his conduct in the press room last term and while results were going his way there was little outcry, but now the team has faltered his latest outburst about the impossibility of winning at Camp Nou has cost him dearly.</p>
<p>Ramos made his name by winning five trophies in 15 months at Sevilla and he added to that by leading Tottenham to the Carling Cup last term, their first major trophy for nine years.</p>
<p>Despite the north London club&#8217;s subsequent dip in form, the Andalucian trainer&#8217;s stock held up in Spain and he was tipped to join Real Madrid as soon as it was announced that he had lost his job at White Hart Lane.</p>

<p><strong>Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster will be forced to shuffle his back-line for Saturday’s critical El Clasico clash, but it appears that he has found a solution for the problem known as Lionel Messi.</strong></p>
<p>Real Madrid will head into Saturday’s showdown with bitter rivals,Barcelona without at least half of their first team.</p>
<p>With injured players littered across every position and department on the pitch, Madrid’s most vital absence, however, will be in the left-back slot: the flank Lionel Messi will attack from.</p>
<p>Marcelo is suspended and Miguel Torres is out injured, while at this stage Gabriel Heinze appears to be doubtful. And even if he does recover from a muscle ailment in time, he will be short on match fitness: a defect that can be brutally fatal against a player like ‘Little Lionel’.</p>
<p>Madrid-based daily AS has speculated that coach Bernd Schuster will turn to the versatile Sergio Ramos in an attempt to put the brakes on the mercurial Messi. With Pepe also sidelined, Christoph Metzelder will most likely partner Fabio Cannavaro in the centre of defence, but this will leave the right-back position up in the air.</p>
<p>While Ramos may look like the perfect solution to stop Messi, the bad omen for Madridistas is that the only two occasions where he has been employed as a left-back since joining Los Blancos occurred back in 2007 under Fabio Capello, against Deportivo La Coruna and Real Valladolid. Madrid lost both matches.</p>
<p>The possible absences of midfielders Wesley Sneijder and Royston Drenthe will pose another selection headache for Schuster. If the pair fail to recover come kick-off, the German-born coach will have to deploy Rafael van der Vaart, Javi Garcia and Guti just infront of Fernando Gago.</p>

William Gallas&#8217;s Arsenal future is in doubt after he was stripped off his captaincy and dropped from the squad.

<p><span style="font-weight:bold;">William Gallas&#8217;s Arsenal future is in doubt after he was stripped off his captaincy and dropped from the squad.</span></p>
<p>The 31-year-old centre-back has revealed rifts in the Gunners dressing room, a blazing row during the interval of the 4-4 draw with rivals Tottenham and a problem with an unnamed team-mate unsettling Arsene Wenger&#8217;s squad.</p>
<p>Wenger had to decide whether to give Gallas the armband at Eastlands, with the website of respected magazine France Football suggesting the defender has lost it and is not travelling for the City clash.</p>
<p>Manuel Almunia and Gael Clichy have been billed as alternatives this weekend, as Cesc Fabregas is suspended and Kolo Toure injured.</p>
<p>Former Arsenal full-back Nigel Winterburn believes changing the captaincy would place Gallas&#8217; future in doubt.</p>
<p>&#8220;If he takes the captaincy away he&#8217;s almost saying he doesn&#8217;t trust him as a player and then maybe he shouldn&#8217;t be playing within the team,&#8221; said Winterburn on Sky Sports News.</p>
<p>&#8220;It shows how disappointed Arsene Wenger is. He must be seriously hurt to take the captaincy away. If he does not travel it could be the end of him at Arsenal.&#8221;<br />
Gallas has been quoted in the Evening Standard as being open to an eventual return to France for the final stages of his career, which adds fuel to questions of his long-term commitment to Arsenal.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;It&#8217;s true that I&#8217;d like to return to France for one or perhaps two seasons to finish my career.&#8221;</p>

<p>Real Madrid will sign Manchester United and Argentine forward, Carlos Tevez in time for the start of next season.</p>
<p>Spanish sports daily, Marca, reported that the ‘Apache&#8217; as Tevez is commonly known, has said yes to Madrid after seeing his starting berth go to new United signing, Dimitar Berbatov.</p>
<p>Madrid themselves have had problems of late and with star striker, Ruud van Nistelrooy out for the rest of the season, Tevez&#8217;s arrival will be deemed necessary.</p>
<p>Bernd Schuster&#8217;s men are currently sitting in fourth position and are five points behind Primera Liga leaders, Barcelona.<br />
Whether or not Marca&#8217;s report is correct has yet to be confirmed by the Los Blancos.</p>
