Radamel Falcao in Monaco squad to face Man City but may not start

Monaco will make a late decision on whether or not to start forward Radamel Falcao in Wednesday's Champions League round-of-16 second leg against Manchester City.

Falcao, 31, took a heavy blow to the hip in the closing minutes of Monaco's 2-1 Ligue 1 win over Bordeaux on Saturday, and the club have been racing to get the Colombia international fit to face City.

"It's a little better, but I don't know if he'll be able to start the match," Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim told reporters after naming Falcao in his squad for the game.
