Monaco – AS Monaco forward Radamel Falcao will miss Friday’s visit to Toulouse in Ligue 1 as he continues to recover from a concussion sustained last month, his club confirmed Thursday.

The Colombia international has been sidelined since Monaco’s 4-0 defeat to Nice on Sept. 21 and is still not ready to return despite making progress in his recovery.

“While the neurological test carried out today (Thursday) reveals a positive development to the Colombian forward’s injury, as a precaution Radamel Falcao is not part of the squad for Toulouse,” Monaco said in a statement.

“Falcao will undergo another test in the coming days,” the club added.

The striker returned to training this week in a limited capacity, three weeks after he was hurt following a collision with Nice goalkeeper Yoan Cardinale.
