Real Madrid will be without playmaker Kaka for Saturday's Spanish league match against Barcelona due to a persistent groin problem.

The Brazil midfielder has been out of action with the injury for a month, last playing for Madrid in a Champions League match against Lyon on March 10. Kaka, a €65 million (then $94 million) signing from AC Milan, previously injured his groin in a 1-0 loss at Barcelona in December.

Kaka has seven goals from 21 league appearances.

Madrid and Barcelona are even at the top of the Spanish standings with 77 points each.
