We're not talking about old guys going back to their homelands for one last hurrah, that's normal. People like Ayala, Requilme and Henrik Larsonn do this as well as Brazilians like Ze Roberto,Gilberto and Emerson but Adriano is 28, Cincinho 29, and both Fred and Robinho are only 26. That's abnormal.

Doesn't this hurt them with their international prospects?

Dunga is known to give chances to local league players. Adriano has pretty much booked a ticket to South Africa already.

It's because Ronaldo once broke his knee or something and after that he couldn't play 2 games without rupturing it again.
