  The 29-year-old arrived at Stamford Bridge last July having had a disappointing loan spell at Manchester United during the 2014-15 season.
  He has not played for Chelsea since 31 October, was sidelined with a thigh injury at the start of November and suffered a recurrence of the problem in a training game in December.
  During two years at Atletico, Falcao helped the side win the 2012 Europa League and 2013 Copa del Rey.
  He scored 52 goals in 68 league games for the Colchoneros.
