Real Madrid get Kaka boost for Zaragoza match

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MADRID, Spain — Kaka has overcome a groin injury and will be in Real Madrid’s squad for Saturday’s Spanish league match at Zaragoza.

The Brazil playmaker hasn’t played since a Champions League match against Lyon on March 10 due to the nagging injury, which also left him sidelined earlier in the season.

Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini says there is no reason to doubt Kaka’s fitness since "the moment he didn’t feel pain, like now, he was added to the team list."

Kaka has scored eight goals from 29 matches with Madrid.

Madrid trails Spanish league leader Barcelona by one point with five games to play.
