Kaka: 'No problem' in being left off Brazil's Copa America squad

SANFORD, Fla. -- Orlando City midfielder Kaka says he has "no problem" with the decision by Brazil manager Dunga to leave him off of the 23-man squad for this summer's Copa America Centenario.

Given that Brazil will play its second group-stage game against Haiti in Kaka's home stadium, the Citrus Bowl, there was speculation that the former Ballon d'Or winner might make the final 23.

But a thigh injury has limited Kaka to just three appearances this season for Orlando, though he did record two goals and two assists in that time. And while Kaka is expected to play this in Orlando's home match this Friday against the New York Red Bulls, that return to health wasn't enough to make the final cut.
