The twenty nine year old midfielder missed out on a return to the Brazilian national team earlier on in the month after he’d picked up a minor muscle injury whilst training with the Spanish giants.
Despite having returned to training earlier in the week, the Brazilian midfielder was unable to regain full fitness in time for the Madrid derby.
Speaking to the spanish press before Real Madrid’s game against local rivals, Atletico, the Portuguese boss revealed the former world player of the year is close to returning to full training.
”At the moment, Kaka is not available, but he will be soon.” Mourinho said. ” It’s not a serious injury, but it’s annoying. It’s not a major injury but we must be vigilant. He’s returned to individual training and should be able to join the rest of the group on Tuesday.”
