team captain Kaká and centerback José Aja both took big strides toward complete recovery on Friday, training in full with the team for the first time since being sidelined by injury.
Lions coach Jason Kreis said earlier this week he would evaluate Kaká on a day-to-day basis before making a decision on whether he will play when the Lions travel to NYCFC on Sunday.
Feeling well enough to practice for a full session bodes well for the captain, who was out for six weeks with a hamstring injury, although previously injured athletes usually play limited minutes in their first games back.
