Kaka Could Be Out For Four Months With Knee Problem

Milan superstar Kaka may be forced to sit out of action for four months in order to cure a chronic knee problem, according to the Corriere dello Sport.


The European and World Footballer of the Year has been playing with a niggling sensation in his knee for quite some time now, but the problem has worsened in recent weeks.

This has been a factor in Kaka’s under-par performances of late, and the pain was said to be so bad in Sunday night’s 1-0 win over Fiorentina that the player was forced to come off in the closing stages.

The 25-year-old has pulled out of Brazil’s international squad and has been replaced by Werder Bremen’s Diego.

Kaka is now a doubt for this Sunday’s game with Siena, possibly leaving Milan without a forward of any description, as Alberto Gilardino is suspended and Alexandre Pato, Ronaldo and Filippo Inzaghi injured.

In order to clear up the injury, Kaka may be forced to sit out of action for four months, which would surely be an irreparable blow to Milan.

Rossoneri doctor Pierre Meersseman is less concerned about the problem however, and does not believe that a spell on the sidelines is required.

"This is nothing serious,” he told Milan Channel.

“For a couple of years he has been living with this discomfort in his knee.

“Before and after training and matches, Kakà undergoes physiotherapy exercises that make it better. Even if he has four to five months rest, there is no guarantee the problem will pass.”

Typical goal.com overreacting. Meersman said that even a rest of 4 months wouldn't necessarily solve the issue. I wouldn't worry...yet.
