Kaka back for Brazil friendlies

Real Madrid's Kaka is back in the Brazil squad after coach Mano Menezes called him up for November friendlies against Gabon and Egypt. Kaka returns with Menezes, whose men are pre-qualified for the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ as hosts, endorsing the Real Madrid midfielder for his strong recent form. "I always said that when Kaka returns to a good productive level then he would return to the side and now is a good time for him to do so," Menezes said.
