Brazil midfielder Kaka will miss Sunday's World Cup qualifier against Ecuador with a foot injury.
The AC Milan playmaker suffered an injury to his left foot earlier this month in the Serie A victory over Siena when he was returning from a similar problem which kept him out of action for a month.
Brazil doctor Jose Luis Runco confirmed that 26-year-old attacker will not travel with the rest of the squad to Quito and will instead continue his recovery in Granja Comary, Porto Alegre, in the hope of being ready to face Peru on Wednesday.
"Kaka took part in an individual training session," said Runco.
"We think he is not fully recovered and he is still feeling pain there. He will remain with the physiotherapists and wait for our return from Ecuador."
