AC Milan midfielder Kaka has volunteered to go without pay while recovering from a thigh injury he sustained on his debut against Torino on Saturday.
.
"I sincerely didn't expect a misfortune of this nature at this stage," the former Brazilian international told the club's television station.
.
"I don't want anything from Milan so I'm voluntarily having my wages suspended for this period during which I'm not available for the club and the coach.
.
The only thing I ask for is the support to help me make a complete recovery."

Kaka, who returned for a second stint with the Italian team two weeks ago after four unhappy seasons at Real Madrid, went off in the 70th minute of Saturday's 2-2 draw at Torino.

Milan, who have taken four points from their opening three Serie A games, host Celtic in the Champions League on Wednesday.
