Chelsea transfer news: Radamel Falcao could cut loan spell short for Monaco return after injury-hit season

Radamel Falcao flew back to parent club Monaco for checks on his thigh injury earlier this week ahead of a potential return to the club.

Falcao was hoping to resurrect his ailing career at Chelsea this year, but halfway through a season-long loan with the Premier League champions, the Colombian has scored just one goal.

The 29-year-old has not played for Chelsea since the end of October due to a thigh injury and is expected to be out for at least another week with the problem.

Falcao was at Monaco's training ground earlier this week for checks on the injury.

The striker returned to Chelsea's training ground on Wednesday and was at the complex in Cobham on Thursday too.

But he is understood to be considering an attempt to cut his loan short and return to Monaco. With Diego Costa and Loic Remy ahead of him in the pecking order, Falcao appears unlikely to get much playing time with the Blues for the rest of the season, which is of concern to the former Atletico Madrid forward.
