Falcao retains World Cup hope

Falcao has not given up hope
of featuring at the World Cup
despite suffering a serious
knee injury.
The Colombia international was carried from the field
on a stretcher during the Ligue 1 club's 3-0 triumph
over Monts d'Or Azergues in the Coupe de France on
Wednesday.
Monaco confirmed on Thursday that their record
signing will undergo surgery after scans revealed he
had damaged the anterior cruciate in his left knee.
The 27-year-old's hopes of playing at the World Cup
in Brazil later this year would appear to be over, but
Falcao is retaining hope of appearing at the
tournament.
"I want to thank all of you for your messages in the
last hours," he wrote on social networking
site Twitter .
"I have been touched by all the support and love of all
the people around the world.
"I am not going to hide that I am very sad. My heart is
destroyed. But I have faith (that I am) holding right
now to keep my dream alive to be at the World Cup.
"God makes the impossible possible. I believe in
Him."
