Kakà skipped Milan’s doomed trip to Juventus last night, officially due to an upper thigh problem.
However, reports in the peninsula allege this morning that the Rossoneri medical staff are now fearing the worst, as the Brazilian still feels pain in the groin area.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, he could be suffering from inguinal hernia, the same problem that has beset defender Daniele Bonera.
He is expected to undergo further tests this week and should this diagnosis be confirmed, the 26-year-old will be operated on as soon as possible in order to reduce his recovery period.
However, he would certainly miss the winter training camp in Dubai which will start on December 29.
The Diavoli were already dealt a big blow last week, as midfielder Gennaro Gattuso was ruled out for up to six months after damaging knee ligaments.
This morning, 'Ringhio' will leave for Antwerp where specialist Marc Martens will perform the surgery next Friday.
