Real Madrid star Kaka is closing in on a return to the first-team action from injury. The Brazil international has been out of action with a knee injury and underwent surgery on the problem back in August.
Real said at the time they expected the former Ballon d'Or and Fifa World Player of the Year winner to return to the first-team reckoning by December. This year the prize went to Lionel Messi instead of Kaka.
Spanish newspaper Marca reported that the former AC Milan midfielder would not be fit until January, but Los Blancos insist the 28-year-old is on schedule to make his comeback.
Real have been relying on Cristiano Ronaldo to score the goals until he is back. Brazil will be hoping he is back in time for their match against Paraguay in February.
