Kaka could be called for Olympics – Dunga
Wednesday, April 09, 2008
Brazil national team coach Dunga has refused to rule out Kaka being called up for this summer’s Olympics.
"Nothing has yet been decided,” said Dunga.
“First, we must still build a team with players that are under 23. When we have done this, we'll take care of the three over-age players."
Kaka has said recently that he would be open to playing at the Olympics but any such call-up is likely to cause a club-versus-country row.
The 25-year-old has struggled badly with a troublesome knee injury this season, and Milan would like for him to have an extended rest over the summer.
Furthermore there is a good possibility that Milan may need to participate in the qualifying rounds for the Champions League, which would thus require Kaka’s availability.
The ex-Sao Paolo man was back to something approaching his best at the weekend when he scored and impressed in the 3-1 win over Cagliari.
