Ahead of tonight's clash with Malaga at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho insists the club must be patient with Kaka and not put him under any pressure to recapture his form after returning from injury.

The Brazilian maestro underwent knee surgery after the World Cup last summer and only returned to training with the first team in December.

"Kaka hasn't played for six months, but it has actually been longer because he hasn't been in optimum form for a year and a half," the Portuguese tactician said during a press conference.u00a0

"We must be patient and allow him to work with no pressure. I don't put any pressure on him," he said.
