Radamel Falcao left off Monaco squad despite 'positive' brain scan

MONACO -- Monaco say striker Radamel Falcao will not face Toulouse on Friday despite having a "positive" neurological scan following his concussion last month.

Coach Leonardo Jardim said on Wednesday that Falcao would join the squad for the away match provided he passed Thursday's scan.

Although Monaco says the scan showed "positive development," the French club added that he was left out as a precautionary measure.

The 30-year-old Colombian striker has not played since sustaining a concussion against French league rival Nice on Sept. 21, but resumed light training.

Monaco say Falcao will be assessed again "in the next few days."

Falcao started the season with three goals in six games.
