It seems everything is settled for Shakhtar forward Luis Adriano who suffered concussion during this weekend's match against Metalurh Zaporizhya and had to miss Tuesday's away game with Zorya. "In general I am all right", the 21-years-old Brazilian told Sport Sehodnya. "Although the headache still returns sometime. My legs are intact, that's what matters. I hope I will recover before the Saturday's match with Karpaty. Everything is not as serious as it looked".

Last season he mostly played for reserves but this year had 10 games for the first team scoring three goals. "I want to thank my relatives, father, uncle, and my girlfriend who arrived to Donetsk to help me settle in the strange country. Larisa, my beloved, came here immediately after our training camp".

The Brazilians' adaptation in Ukraine is often hampered by weather and Luis Adriano is no exception. "It was difficult to survive the cold season. I had to sit at home and eat a lot. I lay under the blanket watching DVD. Good movies make me warmer".
