(Reuters) - Brazilian club Internacional condemned "cowardly threats" sent to midfielder Edenilson on Wednesday after he received a video of an armed man warning him to up his game.

The 32-year-old midfielder, who has two caps for Brazil, was sent a video of a man waving a gun and saying, "Edenilson, you better be careful, we're going to get you. Play football. We are going to get you."
