AS Monaco are in the Champions League group stage largely thanks to Radamel Falcao. Yep, the Manchester United and Chelsea flop returned to Monaco this summer, and rather than sulk, he got on with things, getting himself back to full fitness and hitting the back of the net.
Of the four goals that Monaco scored over the two games, Falcao played a direct part in 3 of them.
So, naturally, after his goal and assist in the second leg, he had to come off injured before half time. The curse once again struck Falcao.
French newspaper L’Equipe explain on Friday that the Colombian is back. He could feature against Lille at the weekend, which would line him up perfectly to be able to face Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley.
It would be a big boost for the player, and for Monaco if he can again be so influential.
