Kaka sustained an adductor muscle injury in his left thigh and will undergo further tests in 10 days’ time to confirm the exact recovery period.u00a0“Yesterday was a tough day for me as I found out about my injury,” he told acmilan.com.
“I certainly didn’t expect this type of injury at this time. It has been hard and difficult.u00a0“I spoke to the club a lot yesterday, to (vice-president Adriano) Galliani and to the doctors to decide on a few things. I have decided that I don’t want anything from Milan except their (moral) support and affection.
“Until I am fit again and ready to play, I have decided not to receive my wages. I have already started the recovery process. The affection I have felt in recent days gives me the added motivation to get fit as soon as possible.”u00a0
