Campana: Star Colombia striker Radamel Falcao is to be given until the "last minute" to prove his World Cup fitness, coach Jose Pekerman said on Wednesday.


"We will wait until the last minute of the last day," said the Argentine coach from the team's World Cup training base in Cardales, near Buenos Aires.


Squad list on June 2
Pekerman, who coached his native Argentina at the 2006 World Cup finals where they went out in the quarter-finals to Germany, must submit his final 23-man squad by June 2, ahead of the global showpiece kick-off 10 days later.


Falcao, 28 and who has scored 20 goals in 51 international appearances, suffered serious knee ligament damage playing for his club Monaco in a French Cup tie on January 22 and has not played since.
