"Monaco" vice president Vadim Vasilyev revealed that the club wanted to bring back on loan Chelsea striker Radamel Falcao, but the Colombian's injuries prevented it.
The 29-year-old footballer appeared only 10 times in the "aristocrats" ranks this season and currently cannot even train.
Last November, the then English club manager Jose Mourinho said the striker was suffering from a "serious muscle injury."
"The truth is that we spoke with Falcao several times," Vasilyev told RMC.
"The first thought was that he would return to Monaco and play the second part of the season here."
"He came to us and was examined by our doctors. Unfortunately, he was injured. We made the decision that it would be better if he stayed with Chelsea."
