Last season was cut short by an adductor strain which was misdiagnosed as pubalgia.
This season looks as if it could start unkindly for Kaka as he cut short his preseason (Real are on their USA tour) flying to Antwerp to consult with Dr Mark Martens, a specialist who has also operated on Cristiano Ronaldo. Depending on his evaluation Kaka could potentially undergo surgery for a suspected torn meniscus of the left knee. Which could force a two month layoff. (As per Marca.com)
Looks like Florentino Perez’s gambit of Kaka as a creative force in Real’s midfield has once again suffered a setback.
