Real Madrid coach Pellegrini: Kaka looks injury free

Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini says Kaka is in good shape.

Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini says Kaka is in good shape.

The Brazilian has not featured for a month as he recovered from a groin strain.

"Kaka is already good, he's trained with us since Wednesday and the injury has settled down. But, being out for a month, he has to pick up the pace," said the Chilean coach.

On Rafael van der Vaart, who has filled in for Kaka during the Brazilian's absence, Pellegrini added: "He is very important."

"Van der Vaart is very important, but with Kaka he played very good games too, what is important is that we have our players fully fit."
