Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho confirms that Radamel Falcao will be given around 30 minutes against Barcelona in Wednesday's pre-season friendly.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed that new signing Radamel Falcao will play around half an hour of Wednesday's pre-season match against Barcelona in Washington DC.

The Colombian, who failed to impress during his loan spell at Manchester United last season, joined the Blues earlier this month on a temporary basis from Monaco.

Falcao made a cameo appearance in last weekend's 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain, but he, along with Willian and Juan Cuadrado, will get more time on the pitch at FedEx Field.

"Now they are not ready to start against Barcelona, but I think they can go from 20 to 30 minutes - I will give them that," Mourinho told Chelsea TV.

The Premier League champions are yet to win a pre-season game.
