Orlando City ace Kaka on Brazil's preliminary list for Copa America

Kaka has been selected in Brazil's 30-man preliminary squad for this summer's Copa America.

The Orlando City star, 33, has been added to Dunga's initial roster for the CONMEBOL tournament which takes place in Chile between June 11 and July 4.

Kaka has netted 29 goals in 87 internationals for A Selecao during his career and is now a chance of adding to that in the Copa America if selected in the final 23-man squad.

The seven added selections on top of the 23 initial players alongside Kaka are: Neto (Fiorentina), Gil (Corinthians), Felipe Anderson (Lazio), Fred (Shakhtar Donetsk), Rafael Alcantara (Barcelona), Leandro Damiao (Cruzeiro)

Brazil were drawn in Group C with Colombia, Peru and Venezuela for the 44th edition of South America's top national tournament.
