Bayern Munich legend Robben opens door to comeback

Bayern Munich legend Arjen Robben has opened the door to a playing return.

The former Chelsea winger announced his decision to call it a day in July after suffering from repeated injuries during his final season in the Bundesliga.

However, the 35-year-old refused to rule out returning for one last hurrah in an interview with Dutch station NPO Radio.

"Maybe in one or two months I'll have a strange feeling that I miss the whole thing too much and will decide I have to go back," Robben said.

"But of course it doesn't get any easier the longer you're retired. I do not rate the chances (of returning) very highly."
