Belen Sanchez of La Sexta in Spain reported the news that Felix is also back in the squad for tomorrowâs game in La Liga against Levante.
We would expect the Portuguese to play an hour or so in that one to get some minutes in his legs, and heâll then be in perfect shape to face us.

Itâs bad new for the Blues, who will see one of the outstanding players in the Spanish league back and ready to take them on in the Champions League first leg in Madrid.
This Atleti team are solid from front to back, and weâll need more than just a few missing players to beat them. The return of our own injured starts â like Thiago Silva â could prove equally influential in deciding the result.
