Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddink has revealed his team fitness news,and with the Dutch boss saying that Radamel
Falcao is back in full training as he steps up his recovery from a very serious thigh injury sustained in December.the for Russia coach Hiddink admiting that he Colombia international is now in pole position to battle for place with Loic Remy and January loan arrival Alexandre Pato, but confirmed that young striker Bertrand Traore is now his trusted deputy to Diego Costa.
"Falcao is now in training for more than a week, growing in his physical fitness," Hiddink confirmed. "He was out for a long time but so far with increasing training intensity he has not had a setback. That's encouraging for him first and for us as well.
Pato is in the same [situation] but it's the competition. I want to have a fair judgment on all the players in the striker position, which is now different to what it was when Pato came in.
"At that time we didn't have Remy, we didn't have Falcao and we didn't know where Traore was. Traore made - coming in [as a substitute] better than starting, to be honest - his goals and he developed himself quickly.
"I want to have a fair judgement on their performances, not just in games but in training as well. There is a kind of hierarchy of who is knocking on the door to replace Diego as No.1, or added to him when we want to play two [strikers]."
