Orlando City SC striker Kaka has been called into the Brazil squad for the Copa America to replace injured Douglas Costa.
Costa, 25, has a muscle injury in his left thigh that will force the Bayern Munich forward to miss the 100th anniversary edition of the event, according to a report on the Brazilian federation website.
