Former Colombia defender Ivan Cordoba is convinced Radamel Falcao can return to his best at Chelsea.

Cordoba won the Treble with Inter Milan under the management of Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.

"I know that Mourinho has always had Radamel Falcao in his sights," Cordoba revealed to AS.

"And with all the confidence of the coach, with the way of working of Mourinho and how professional Radamel is, I think he will return to his best level.

"He will give great joy to Colombians. He needs it. He still has a lot of energy to give.

"The moment his injury happened was not a very positive experience, but it makes him stronger. Now he'll succeed thanks to the trust of Mourinho."
