LONDON, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Kaka and Alexandre Pato are out of Brazil's friendly against Ireland in Dublin on Wednesday, the Brazilian football federation said on its Web site (www2.uol.com.br).

World Player of the Year Kaka suffered a knock on the left knee and forward Pato, who had been hoping to make his Brazil debut, twisted his right ankle during weekend action with AC Milan in Serie A.

No immediate decision was taken over whether extra players will be called up in their places, the federation said.
