Kaka dribbles the ball in the game against Chile.

Kaka and Robinho are back in Brazil's starting lineup for the World Cup second-round match against Chile on Monday.

But Brazil will be without injured midfielders Felipe Melo and Elano. Felipe Melo failed to recover from a left ankle injury, while Elano is missing his second match in a row because of a right ankle problem. Ramires and Daniel Alves will replace them.

Kaka missed the final group-stage match against Portugal due to a red card in the previous match, while Robinho was absent because of a left thigh ailment.

Chile is without defenders Gary Medel and Waldo Ponce because of yellow card suspensions, while Marco Estrada is not playing after being sent off against Spain. Midfielder Carlos Carmona is returning from a suspension.
