MADRID, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- Spanish soccer league giant Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho's coaching assistant Aitor Karanka said on Friday that Brazilian star Kaka will miss Real's match against Valencia on Saturday.

Kaka just returned to training last Tuesday from last month's injury suffered at the match against Real Sociedad.

Karanka said the player was on the road to fitness but "not sufficiently recovered and won't be in the group".
