Colombian striker Radamel Falcao will not return to parent club Monaco in the winter transfer window with the French Ligue 1 side telling him to stay at Chelsea to nurse his thigh injury.
Falcao, 29, has been on loan at the English champions but has not played since October 31. He had been expected to go back to Monaco in January.
“He has been injured for six to eight weeks. In these circumstances, we took the decision that he will not be returning,” Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev said.

Falcao has scored just once in nine games at Chelsea having scored only four goals on loan at Manchester United last season.
He had joined Monaco in a €60 million (Dh240.6m) deal from Atletico Madrid in 2013 after scoring 70 goals for the Spanish club.
Meanwhile, Vasilyev said that former CSKA Moscow striker Wagner Love will sign an 18-month deal later this week having scored 14 times to help Corinthians to the Brazilian title in December.
Italian striker Stephan El Shaarawy, on loan from AC Milan, is expected to leave Monaco, added Vasilyev.

How to wear a kandura
Dos
- Wear the right fabric for the right season and occasion
- Always ask for the dress code if you don’t know
- Wear a white kandura, white ghutra / shemagh (headwear) and black shoes for work
- Wear 100 per cent cotton under the kandura as most fabrics are polyester
Don’ts
- Wear hamdania for work, always wear a ghutra and agal
- Buy a kandura only based on how it feels; ask questions about the fabric and understand what you are buying
