Kaka is hopeful of being fit for Brazil's two World Cup qualifiers next month after undergoing knee surgery.

The brilliant playmaker has been struggling with a knee problem for some time and after undergoing scans the club decided to send him under the knife.

The surgery is likely to sideline Kaka for up to two weeks meaning he will miss the friendlies against Canada on 31st May and Venezuela on 6th June.

Kaka has set his sights on returning to action for the World Cup qualifiers against Paraguay on 15th June and Argentina on 18th June.

"I'm going to get ready. The doctor said I have a chance' to play," Kaka told Brazilian television.
