Joao Felix was forced to train with Atletico Madrid’s academy players on the first day of pre-season.
Felix moved to Chelsea on loan in January but he only managed four goals in 20 appearances and has been allowed to return to the Wanda Metropolitano. However, The Sun reports that the Portugal international was told to train with the academy players ahead of Atletico’s run of pre-season games, having already been stripped of the No.7 shirt.
Later in the session, he is said to have linked up with the senior squad, but it speaks to Felix’s current standing in Diego Simeone’s set-up.
Felix has been linked with a potential move to PSG this summer, with the French club having recently appointed Luis Enrique as manager, and it appears Atletico may be open to selling him.
