Atletico Madrid coach Simeone freezes out Felix for preseason

Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has sidelined Joao Felix for their first preseason training session.

Felix is prepared to leave Atletico this summer, with a priority being PSG.

The Portugal striker spent the second-half of last season on-loan with Chelsea, which passed on signing him permanently.

Okdiario says after initially taking part in the warm-up and light drills yesterday, Felix was frozen out by Simeone.

A 11 vs 11 bounce game was held, with Simeone insisting Felix sit out the match in a clear sign he's unwanted for the new season.
