Club boss confirms medical for Chelsea flop Radamel Falcao

MONACO considered recalling Radamel Falcao from his Chelsea loan spell before having a change of heart, club vice-president Vadim Vasilyev has revealed.

 

Radamel Falcao has not played for Chelsea since October

 

Falcao is on loan at Chelsea for the season after ending another loan stint, at Manchester United, last summer.

The Colombia international has so far not impressed in a Blues shirt, having scoring just once all season, and has been out since October with a thigh injury.

 

He returned to Monaco last week and had a medical in the expectation he would cut short his Chelsea stint.
But Vasilyev says no agreement was reached after the 29-year-old failed the tests.
"It's true that we've talked about Falcao on numerous occasions," Vasilyev told RMC Sport.

"The original idea was that he would return to Monaco to play the second half of the season.
"He came over and had a medical. Unfortunately, he was injured.
"So we took the decision that it would be better for him to stay with Chelsea.
"Could he return one day? I won't close the door, that door remains open."
