Veteran Ghanaian star Michael Essien has returned to his former club Chelsea of England to train as he aims to boost his fitness ahead of the January transfer window.
The injury-prone midfield giant, who turns 34 in December, is currently without a club after he was released by Greek giants Panathinaikos in the summer.
To show his determination to get back to competitive action early next year, Essien posted a clip of himself powering away on a gym bike with the caption Let's goooo.
Despite his advancing years and problems with injury however, Essien, who also played for French sides Bastia and Lyon, as well as Italian club AC Milan and Spanish heavyweights Real Madrid, insists he is not ready to retire.
I am still active, I have been training to keep my fitness. I have not retired, Essien said.
I would definitely announce to everyone if I retire..
