The 25-year-old was injured again during Sunday's match
with Palermo when he was on the receiving end of a strong tackle
from Roberto Guana.
Kaka has since complained that he is not being protected by
referees, and that defenders are being allowed to kick him without
the fear of punishment.
Galliani agrees, and fears that unless something is done about it,
then Kaka may be forced to retire from the game at an early age,
just like former Milan great Marco Van Basten.
"Kaka is absolutely right because unfortunately the referees
continue to allow fouls to be made from behind," said
Galliani.
"I believe they think these fouls can be handled by players,
because they see them and should expel or warn, however, nothing
happens.
"We have already lost one great, who was called Marco Van
Basten at 28 years old and would like to avoid losing Kaka at the
same age."
Van Basten was robbed of the best years of his career and
finally retired in 1995, after a series of operations failed to
cure a recurring ankle injury.
