体坛英语新闻：Riquelme flags Boca return

BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 13 (Xinhua) -- Former Argentina international midfielder Juan Roman Riquelme has flagged the possibility of a comeback with Boca Juniors.

Riquelme quit the Buenos Aires club in July after a 3-1 aggregate loss to Brazil's Corinthians in the Copa Libertadores final.

But the 34-year-old said he was open to a return, provided the club wanted him.

"If Boca needs me than I am available," Riquelme told Argentine television channel TyC Sports on Tuesday.

"By the middle of December I will make a decision. I have to know first if they want me then I will sit down with them and make a decision."

The former Barcelona and Villarreal star said the four-month break from football had left him "in better physical shape than six months ago".

"I am feeling good and have been enjoying things that I previously wasn't able to do," Riquelme said.
