Kaka still experiencing pain after knee surgery, expects to be fit by mid-July

AC Milan's playmaker Kaka says he is still in pain after undergoing knee surgery, but that he's on track to rejoin the Serie A team to prepare for the upcoming season.

The 26-year-old Brazilian, who is recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery in Rio de Janeiro on May 23, made a short trip to Milan to film a commercial, Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport reported Tuesday.

"I'm doing physiotherapy and I am satisfied," Kaka told Gazzetta. "The knee still hurts a bit, but I am sure it will improve soon."

Kaka said he would be fit by July 16, when Milan will assemble to begin training for the next season. Due to the surgery, the player was dropped from Brazil's team for two World Cup qualifiers last month.
