Colombia coach Jose Pekerman has described Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao's confidence problems as "huge". Falcao, just yesterday, hinted he was likely to leave United at the end of the season.

Pekerman commented: "It is a big problem that we must solve. The problem is huge, and Falcao is saddened by what he's experienced.

"I feel I have to support him, because I understand that it's a tough time for him. He is struggling.

"I will work with him again and I will try to rebuild his confidence."

Colombia will play Bahrain and Kuwait in two friendlies this coming week.
