From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Radamel Falcao was one of three players who returned to Chelsea training on Tuesday with Jose Mourinho now enjoying a fully fit squad of players.
The Colombian striker, who is consistently linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge in January, has not played since the 3-1 defeat to Liverpool on 31 October.
He took to Instagram to speak to his fans after remaining silent during his injury exile.
"I'm working hard and focusing on recovering," he wrote. "For that reason, I was not using social media accounts for a month or more. I am very happy to train again with the team. I am sure I will back strong."
Falcao is unlikely to play in Chelsea’s crucial Champions League game with Porto tonight, a game in which the Blues need only draw to ensure qualification into the knockout stages. A win would see them top the group.
John Terry and Ramires also returned to training and coule feature at Stamford Bridge.
Speaking on Tuesday, under-pressure Jose Mourinho believes his job remains safe.
"I did lots of good things in this club for the owner to know the quality I have," he said. "The owner shows me that belief twice: when he brought me back to the club, and when he gave me a new contract for four years."
