Real Madrid Star Kaka Could Be Available Against Osasuna

Real Madrid star Kaka has declared himself fit to return to first team action after a month on the sidelines.

The Brazilian playmaker has not featured for Los Blancos since the narrow 1-0 defeat to champions Barcelona at Camp Nou on November 29 but looks set for a possible return to action against Osasuna in Pamplona on January 3.

Los Merengues opted to rest the star after the Barca defeat in an attempt to address the groin injury without needing surgery and it appears to have paid off as the 27-year-old says he is ready to return.

"I am totally fine, I am cured. There is no pain and I hope to work with the group this week and get back in shape physically," he is quoted as saying by AS.

Kaka has been in Brazil during the Christmas period but is set to return this week as Madrid prepare for the trip to Pamplona.
