Colombia's World Cup qualifying chances are limited - Radamel Falcao

Chelsea striker Radamel Falcao admitted it will be tough to earn a spot on the Colombian national team for two World Cup qualifiers this month given his limited playing time at Stamford Bridge and added that Colombia's options are limited in 2018 World Cup qualifying.

The 30-year-old said he was tempted by two separate offers in the Chinese Super League, but his preference has been to stick it out in the Premier League, return to full form and earn a starter's spot.

Falcao, 29, has made just 11 appearances for the Blues in all competitions since arriving at Stamford Bridge on loan from Monaco in the summer, scoring one goal, and has not featured since due to injuries.
