Former Dutch international Arjen Robben, who ended his career in July 2019, wants the 36-year-old to return to professional football at FC Groningen, the club where he was trained announced on Saturday.
The former Bayern Munich star “has been training for weeks to be part of the FC Groningen first team at the start of the 2020-2021 season,” said FC Groningen.
Originally from the region, Robben took his first steps at the FC Groningen training center at the age of 12.
The striker, also from Real Madrid, said he had thought about how he could help the club “get through the crisis of the new coronavirus”.
“A comeback, as a FC Groningen player: I started having this idea and now I have made it my mission,” said Robben in a video. I do not know yet if it will work, “he said, referring to a” physical challenge “.
“I’m going to work hard and if all goes well, I will join the team for the first training session of the new season,” added Robben.
