Kaka didn’t prolong injury – Pellegrini

(GSM) – Real Madrid boss Manuel Pellegrini has refuted claims that that Kaka deliberately prolonged his return from a thigh injury. The Spanish press had reported that the Brazilian could have returned earlier but wanted a time off as he is unhappy at Santiago Bernabeu.

The £68m signing has struggled to return to his excellent form with Pellegrini’s men, the former Villarreal manager insists Kaka is committed to Real.

“It is unfair not to believe he has been suffering pain,” Pellegrini said

“What has been said about him doesn’t correspond with his professionalism. As soon as he didn’t feel any more pain, he has returned to the squad.”
