Kaka has once again tolen headlines, but for the wrong reasons as Real Madrid returned to training in the wake of their weekend triumph over Valencia at the Santiago Bernabeu.
As reported by Marca, the Br azilian, who returned to training for a brief spell last week, was once again unable to train today, confined to the team's indoor facilities because of an ongoing issue with a sports hernia. The ex-Milan player is once again a very large doubt for this weekend's match and has been out of action since Real Madrid's loss to Olympique Lyon in the Champions League back in early March.
Other players with some niggling injuries included Raul, Christoph Metzelder, Roystron Drenthe and Raul Albiol. Albiol is also suspended for Madrid's next match in La Romareda against Zaragoza, giving him a longer amount of time to recover from his knocks.
