Milan Coach Says Kaka Will Likely Start in Return

Kaka is likely to start for AC Milan in his first match since transferring back to the club from Real Madrid.

Milan visits Torino on Saturday and coach Massimiliano Allegri said: "I think he'll be a starter."

Allegri added: "He's in good physical shape. ... He's a bit excited for his debut tomorrow."

The highlight of Kaka's previous six-season spell at Milan came in 2007, when the Brazilian led the club to the Champions League title and won the FIFA world player of the year award.

After a left knee injury and little playing time at Madrid, Kaka is clearly not the player he once was but Milan is hoping he can still provide the necessary passes and vertical speed to free up Mario Balotelli in front of the goal.
