Radamel Falcao’s inclusion in Colombia’s preliminary 30-man squad for the World Cup comes with mixed emotions from his family, particularly his father. Despite Falcao’s serious knee injury in January, his clinical recovery is deemed satisfactory. However, his father believes that while Falcao has regained physical strength, he still lacks the necessary footballing abilities such as resistance, strength, speed, and coordination, essential for a high-level athlete.
This statement raises questions about Falcao’s readiness for the World Cup, prompting speculation about whether he will be fully fit in time for the tournament. The final decision on Falcao’s inclusion in Colombia’s World Cup squad is expected to be made no later than June 2, leaving little time for assessment and consideration.
