Galliani backs AC Milan's Kaka, Pirlo to make Arsenal clash

AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani is confident Kaka will be fit for their Champions League clash with Arsenal.

He said: "At the moment we have some problems with injuries, because we're playing every three days. The news of the renewing of Kaka is certainly good for the whole environment.

"Kaka certainly is out of Lazio, we hope to have him against Arsenal. Even Andrea Pirlo should recover fully for Arsenal.

"I hope Kaka and all the players like him are better protected, especially by fouls from behind. This type of foul should be punished with dismissal because it is a foul of a coward, which can hurt, put an end to a career, cause trouble."
