AC Milan ace Kaka has admitted great frustration over his injury problems.

The Brazilian international damaged his left foot during Milan's 1-1 draw with Reggina on February 7.

Initially the damage wasn't thought to be severe, but the road to recovery has been much longer than expected.

"As soon as I manage to deal with the pain, I will get back to playing," Kaka revealed. "In the past I played for a year with pain in my knee, but last week's pain was different.

"Anyone who thinks that I don't want to get back to playing is out of their mind.

"Sadly it seems that this an injury that doesn't happen often and it keeps getting inflamed."
