Wounded Tiger at Old Trafford

Concerns keep growing as Radamel Falcao known as "El Tigre" or "The Tiger", forward for the Red Devils as re injured himself, and will now be sidelined for 2 more weeks.  Falcao, who hasn't been active since the 2-2 draw against West Bromwich Albion on October 20th, injured is calf, and his now at least 2 weeks away from being healthy again.  Reports say that the injury occurred while training.  The injury also means that Falcao won't be available for the Arsenal clash which will be on Saturday, and the 2 back to back home games against Hull on November 29th and Stoke City on December 2nd. 

Falcao, who was a deadline day loan transfer from French club Monaco, has appeared for 5 games and scored 1 goal this season for the Red Devils, and has yet to complete a full 90 minutes.  When asked about this new set back by MUTV, Van Gaal was quoted as replying, "It takes time", he replied, "next week he shall train, probably with our selection and then he needs two weeks and maybe a game."

Falcao remains very optimistic though, and he even showed frustration on the media reporting stories on how he is still battling the injury that he attained at Monaco, which made him miss the World Cup.  Falcao told MUTV, "I am getting better,  I feel well and I hope to come back to the pitch soon.  It is disappointing that I can't play but I have to be calm and recover because that is important to help the team when I return to the games." He then mentioned his frustration with the media about his past injury, and cleared the air on it a bit.  "It is a bit frustrating. Well, it is more than frustrating actually and it detracts from the credibility of the media that there is so much speculation and that so many falsehoods have been written about it.  I think with an audience of so many millions of people, it is not right. I did take a small injury to my calf, which is something that I need to be careful with, but there are a lot of stories circulating that are pure speculation."

Let's hope the man known to his fan's as "El Tigre" or "The Tiger" has a quick and speedy recovery.  I'm sure I'm speaking for most football fan's when I say that the football world misses him and his amazing aerial goals.  On top of that, I'm sure Manchester United are missing him, especially with the other injury woes that they are going through.  Like Daley Blind who is going to be out of action for some time and a possible worry for the status of Angel Di Maria as he took a knock in Argentina's friendly against Portugal.  I would love to hear your opinion or any feedback, and if you enjoyed this article please follow and share my blog, and follow me on Twitter by following @RobertoVindell .
