Radamel Falcao: 'James Rodriguez will be unhappy at Real Madrid'

Radamel Falcao has suggested that James Rodriguez will only become happier with life at Real Madrid if he plays more games.

Rodriguez has made 13 appearances in all competitions this season but he has been in and out of the side under Zinedine Zidane and rarely completes 90 minutes.

The attacker has been linked with a January move to either Chelsea or Manchester United, and Colombian compatriot Falcao says that his international teammate will not be enjoying life at the Bernabeu.

The Monaco striker told El Partidazo: "When you do not play, you are not happy. It is normal for players – it has happened to me."

Rodriguez has scored 27 goals in 91 appearances for Real since joining the club in 2014.
