Kaka joined by his brother
Kaka's younger brother has joined AC Milan's first-team for the coming season.
Rodrigo Leite - or Digao in Brazilian footballer nickname lingo - was signed by the Italian giants in 2005, but immediately loaned out to Rimini. But Digao - a 6ft 4in defender - has now been drafted into the reigning European Champions' first team plans for next season.
He trained with the senior squad for the first time yesterday.
Kaka has made no secret of his desire to play alongside his brother, and some believe this is one of the main reasons Digao is in the squad.
