For the second time in a month, Red Bulls midfielder Cristian Casseres Jr. and Kaku will again fly to South America to participate in the upcoming CONMEBOL World Cup qualifiers.

Those qualifiers in the middle of the MLS Cup Playoffs.

Venezuela and Casseres will visit Brazil Nov. 13 and host Chile Nov. 17.

Kaku and Paraguay will travel to Argentina Nov. 12 and host Bolivia Nov. 17.

In the October dates, Cásseres Jr. came off the bench against Colombia and started against Paraguay, while Kaku was included in the gameday rosters against Peru and Venezuela.

When they returned to the Red Bulls, Casseres and Kaku had to quarantine themselves and miss several MLS matches. It was not immediately known what they will have to go through in November.

Kaku has two goals and five assists for the Red Bulls this season.

The Red Bulls visit New York City FC in the Hudson River Derby at Yankee Stadium Sunday at 7 p.m.
