The Colombian striker is currently in extraordinary goal-scoring form but his thigh injury might keep him out of the game between Atletico Madrid and Real Betis.
Atletico Madrid currently have one player who is performing better than each and every other on the pitch, and that man is undoubtedly their highest goal-scorer, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276.
After the departure of two of their most favourite strikers, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-c33030 Aguero, Atletico Madrid decided to buy the former Porto star, Radamel Falcao.
After proving himself during the Europa League, Falcao was a good buy for the Spanish club; however, no one was sure whether he would be able to settle well in the Spanish La Liga, where it is more about movement off-the-ball rather than only scoring goals.
Despite the fact that many did not speculate him to become even better than what he was at Porto, he still managed to show the world that he is easily one of the best strikers in the world and can score goals in any team.
Last season, even though Atletico Madrid were unable to accomplish much in the Spanish La Liga and even in the Copa del Rey, they were still able to perform phenomenally in the Europa League.
While playing the second tier European competition, not many thought that they will be able to reach the final of the prestigious tournament and actually win it against their Spanish counterparts, Athletic Bilbao.
Bilbao were in phenomenal form, but Radamel Falcao was on his best days and he was able to score a brace to help his side win their second Europa League title in three years.
Since Falcao is scoring a lot of goals and is easily the highest rated player in Atletico Madrid, his absence from the team can cost them a lot of points in the league.
Recently, while playing against Valladolid in the Spanish La Liga, Falcao was substituted at half-time after he sustained a thigh injury.
The Colombian star was unable to continue and now he is a doubt to play against Real Betis as the two sides will collide in the next Spanish La Liga game.
Falcao has scored eight goals in the season already, with a hat-trick to his name which he managed to score against Athletic Bilbao.
