Kaka is confident he will be in great physical condition when Brazil begin their bid to win a sixth World Cup title in South Africa.
Kaka arrived in Brazil today saying the injuries that kept him from playing several matches with Real Madrid this season will not bother him in next month\'s World Cup.
The playmaker says he will be fully fit by the time the competition begins on June 11.
A former FIFA player of the year, Kaka endured a groin problem and a thigh injury through parts of season and failed to play at his best.
The 28-year-old Kaka was sidelined for 45 days at one point and played sparingly with Real Madrid when he returned to action.
Kaka is expected to be one of Brazil\'s main leaders in this year\'s World Cup, along with Robinho and veteran defenders Juan and Lucio.
