Former Liverpool, QPR and Sunderland striker Djibril Cisse is rethinking retirement.

Cisse has revealed he wants to play again.

"If I want to make it back onto the pitch? That is not a rumour, I have never hidden that desire," he told BeIN Sports.

"I had to stop because of a hip problem, I never stopped because I no longer had the desire to play or because I was bored of football, I stopped because of medical reasons.

"Today, those reasons no longer exist, I have received the green light from the surgeon. After my operation, things went very well, after one week I started running again."
