Kaka, Emerson cleared for Brazil training

FRANKFURT, June 30 (Reuters) Brazilian midfielders Emerson and Kaka, who have been treated for pain in their right knees, will take part in today's practice at the Waldstadion, the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said.

''They're ready for training on the pitch,'' the CBF said in a statement.

Both suffered identical injuries during Tuesday's 3-0 second round win over Ghana, were substituted and have since been undergoing intensive physiotherapy.

Brazil's other worry for tomorrow's quarter-final against France is striker Robinho, who missed the Ghana game because of a problem in his right thigh.

Robinho has been steadily improving and took part in training yesterday, although he sat out penalty practice at the end.
