Adriano was named in Brazil's squad on Monday for this month's friendly against Portugal in Brasilia on Nov. 19.

"I have to be faithful to my convictions," Dunga told reporters when referring to Adriano's problem with his club. "I don't even know if there is a problem and if there is, it's superficial.

"The problem is with Inter but we're going to talk when he's here. Adriano's behaviour here has been excellent and he's getting back to his best form."

Dunga named a full-strength squad for Portugal's first visit to Brazil since 1989.

The game in Brasilia takes place on Nov. 19.

Goalkeepers: Julio Cesar (Inter Milan), Doni (AS Roma)

Defenders: Maicon (Inter Milan), Daniel Alves (Barcelona), Lucio (Bayern Munich), Miranda (Sao Paulo), Thiago Silva (Fluminense), Luisao (Benfica), Kleber (Santos), Marcelo (Real Madrid)

Midfielders: Gilberto Silva (Panathinaikos), Elano (Manchester City), Anderson (Manchester United), Josue (VfL Wolfsburg), Kaka (AC Milan), Diego (Werder Bremen), Mancini (Inter Milan), Alex Meschini (Internacional)

Forwards: Robinho (Manchester City), Luis Fabiano (Sevilla), Alexandre Pato (AC Milan), Adriano (Inter Milan).
