Falcao expects first-team chance at Chelsea

Radamel Falcao insists he expects to get a chance to prove himself up front for Chelsea in the New Year.

The Colombia international has started just two matches in all competitions for the struggling Premier League champions since moving to Stamford Bridge on a lucrative season-long loan deal in the summer.

Various reports have linked Falcao with a return to Monaco or move elsewhere in January but the striker is adamant that he wants an opportunity to prove his fitness and add to his one goal for Chelsea.

The team's start has not been the best and I haven't been allowed to have the opportunities I would have liked.

But I am very grateful, happy and with high expectations of being able to succeed and have opportunities in the second half of the season.

In 2016 I hope to be with the Colombia team in the Copa America and the Olympics and tohave the results that we all want to qualify for

 the World Cup.With my club, [I want] to have success and to be able to play. That is what I want the most now.
