Kaka not in Real squad for Irish training camp

Irish fans will not get to see Kaka in action against Shamrock Rovers next week after all.

Real Madrid's recent €67m signing has not been included in the squad for the side's 10-day Irish training camp, as he is being given extra time-off to recover from the Confederations Cup.

The Spanish giants arrive in the country this evening to train at Carton House in Co Kildare, and will play Rovers in a sell-out friendly next Monday in Tallaght.

Cristiano Ronaldo is named in the squad following the completion last week of his €93m move from Manchester United.
