MADRID, Spain - Real Madrid midfielder Kaka has returned to training after a month out because of a groin inury.

Madrid's website said the Brazil playmaker trained with the ball during Thursday's team session and "appears to have recovered."

Kaka hasn't played since Madrid's 1-0 loss to Barcelona in the Spanish league on Nov. 29.

The Spanish league resumes this weekend following the two-week winter break and Madrid plays Osasuna on Sunday. The club has not said whether the midfielder will feature in that game.
