Radamel Falcao has been left out of Chelsea's Champions League squad having suffered a miserable first half of the season.
Chelsea published their squad lists for the
remainder of the Champions League and Premier League campaigns on
Wednesday and there was no place for the Colombian in their European
lineup.
New signing Pato, who joined on loan from
Corinthians in January, was included as was Matt Miazga, who signed from
New York Red Bulls.
Falcao was one of the most feared strikers in the
world when he joined Monaco from Atletico Madrid for around 60 million
euros in 2013, but he suffered a serious knee injury months later and
has struggled to regain his best.
He made little impact during a loan spell at
Manchester United last season and since arriving at Stamford Bridge in
the close season, also on loan, he has scored just once in 11
appearances.
Chelsea, who are 14th in the Premier League, face Paris St Germain in the last 16 of the Champions League.
