Brazil coach Dunga has confirmed Kaka will be available for Wednesday's World Cup qualifier against Peru after recovering from a foot injury.The AC Milan man missed Sunday's 1-1 draw with Ecuador and stayed in Brazil to have intensive treatment."He can play," said Dunga. "I don't know how much time he will manage to play."Dunga will assess the condition of his players after the weekend's exertions at high altitude in Quito, the Ecuadorian capital which lies 2,800 metres above sea level."We have just arrived from Quito and I have to see the physical condition and the recovery of the players," he said."Playing there is not easy at all. Ecuador know how to profit from their home advantage. Statistics prove that."The coach also criticised the lack of time he had to work with the team before the World Cup qualifying double-header, adding: "You play one month and then you have more than 30 days until you meet the players again.""All the players have different conditions. It is difficult for the coaching staff. It is much easier when we have 15 days to coach them."The Selecao are fourth in the South American Qualifying Zone with 18 points, five behind leaders Paraguay.[LNB]
