Falcao practices with Colombia despite injury

Soccer phenom Radamel Falcao practiced with Colombia's national team Thursday despite a hamstring injury that threatens to sideline him for the country's upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

 

Team trainers are hoping that the superstar will be able to play in Colombia's World Cup qualifying matches against Peru June 3 and Ecuador June 10.

Rumors have surfaced recently that the 26 year old player has garnered interest from English powerhouse and UEFA Champion's League winners, Chelsea F.C. Falcao has reiterated his desire to stay with Atletico Madrid, winners of this year's Europa League final.

"El Tigre," as he is affectionately known, had a career campaign, scoring 36 goals in his debut season for the Spanish club.
