Kaka recalled to Brazil squad for Copa America

Rio de Janeiro, May 27: Brazil coach Dunga has called up veteran midfielder Kaka to replace injured winger Douglas Costa for next month's centenary edition of the Copa America football tournament.

Costa was ruled out of the tournament in the US on Friday after scans revealed a torn muscle in his left thigh, Brazil's football confederation said, reports Xinhua.

Kaka, who won the 2007 World Player of the Year award, has rarely featured in Brazil's national team in the past five years.
