Kaka out of Portugal clash
BRAZILIAN starlet Kaka has been forced to withdraw from the national squad for the upcoming friendly against Portugal.
Kaka was in the party to face the Portuguese on March 29 but has been scratched from the list by coach Carlos Alberto Parreira.
The Sao Paulo playmaker is suffering from a thigh injury and aggravated the problem in training on Friday.
"I trained well on Friday but it started to ache when I kicked the ball," said Kaka.
"But I aggravated the bruise at the end of the session and came back with an injury to my thigh."
