Louis Van Gaal Coy On Falcao’s Fitness Ahead Clash With Chelsea

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has said that key striker Radamel Falcao may not be available ahead of the clash with Chelsea on Sunday.

“He got a kick in the morning [on Friday] so we have to wait and see if he’s fit enough, but it’s not a knee problem,” Van Gaal said.

“He had a knee problem but not anymore. We have to build Falcao up, that I have also said in the first press conference when he came to our club.

“It is difficult because we are playing [games] already, that’s difficult but we have played him because I like the way he was playing so we play with two strikers.

“Now I have to choose between two strikers, even three because [James] Wilson can also play, the younger player.”

The two league giants meet at Old Trafford on Sunday.
