Ronaldinho is reportedly considering coming out of retirement to play for Chapecoense.

The Brazilian side were struck by tragedy this week after the plane crash in Colombia.

71 people, including 19 Chape players, plus club staff and journalists died when the aircraft carrying the squad to for the first leg of the Copa Sul-Americana final went down.

Despite pleas from the club and their opponents, it has been suggested that they will have to fulfill their remaining fixtures in the coming weeks.

Reports in South America suggest Ronaldinho is willing to put his boots back on in Chape's time of need for free.

It is also suggested that former Argentine hero Juan Roman Riquelme will follow suit.

Ronaldinho's agent and brother Roberto Assis confirmed the former Barcelona star will do all he can to help the stricken club.
