United States legend Landon Donovan has opened the door to a return to Everton.
Donovan, who plays his club football for Los Angeles Galaxy, joined the Toffees on loan for the final few months of last season following the end of the Major League Soccer campaign.
The 28-year-old is expected to make another temporary switch in the New Year, and Donovan admits he would be interested in a second stint at Goodison Park.
However, he has also hinted that he could decide to take a break and recharge his batteries ahead of the 2011 MLS season.
The American said: “I want to go back (to Everton) – how could I not after last time?
“But I have to be responsible to my body. It is 50-50 at the moment.”
