Falcao and Pato leave Chelsea at end of loan deals

Chelsea have confirmed the departures of forwards Radamel Falcao and Alexandre Pato at the end of their loan deals, while squad goalkeeper Marco Amelia will also leave Stamford Bridge.

Falcao had joined the Blues on a season-long deal from Monaco following a spell at Manchester United. However, the 30-year-old Colombian made a limited impact with just 12 appearances as he was hampered by injury setbacks.
