No Kaka for Brazil friendly against Bosnia

Brazil will take on Bosnia in their first friendly of the year on Wednesday in the Swiss town of St Gallen with Ronaldinho and Neymar in their ranks but without Real Madrid midfielder Kaka, according to AFP.

Kaka did play in the final two games of 2011 for the auriverde—wins over Gabon and Egypt—but while coach Mano Menezes insists he respects the player's abilities, he said: "I'm not going to give an explanation for every player not selected."
