Impact This isn't much of an update from Atletico outside of a confirmation that Felix injured his ankle again. He's dealt with ankle issues the past couple weeks and it wouldn't be surprising if another sprain kept him out Sunday's match against Eibar.

Re-injures ankle against Betis Felix was replaced just after halftime of Sunday's 1-1 draw with Real Betis due to an ankle injury.

Impact Felix was just returning from a two-match absence due to an ankle problem before picking up a fresh knock.

Hopes to return against Betis Felix (ankle) was a lone participant in training during an off-day and will hope to be back by Sunday's match against Betis, according to Sergio Picos of AS.

Impact Felix has missed the last two league matches, with the first absence coming due to a suspension and the second from an ankle issue picked up while with the Portuguese national team. Since Luis Suarez will be suspended against Betis, Felix will have a good chance to start if he's healthy.

Out against Sevilla Felix (foot) isn't available for Sunday's match against Sevilla.

Impact Feliz hurt his foot with the Portuguese national team and didn't have enough time to recover. In his place, Thomas Lemar will get a rare opportunity to start as a forward next to Luis Suarez.

APRIL 4 • ROTOWIRE

Injured with national team Felix was forced off in the first half of Tuesday's match with Portugal because of a possible foot or ankle injury.

Impact Felix has struggled to get going in the second half of the season and a new injury is unlikely to help progress. It doesn't help that Atletico are back in action Sunday at Sevilla, which means Felix will be in a race against time to recover for that game and another start for Angel Correa is possible.

Suspension over Felix completed his one-match suspension during Sunday's 1-0 win over Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Felix has only scored one goal over his last eight league and UCL appearances. Unless he really shows signs of improvement in training, Felix will likely be passed up for Angel Correa in the starting lineup next to Luis Suarez.

MARCH 22 • ROTOWIRE

Takes four shots versus Chelsea Felix had four shots (three on target), two dribbles and three tackles (two won) in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Chelsea.

Impact Felix had his chances here and has now mounted four shots in a match twice in his last four starts.

Suspended for Sunday's match Felix will be suspended for Sunday's match against Deportivo Alaves after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season.

Impact Felix has only scored once in his last eight matches since returning from his COVID-19 isolation and hasn't always played well during the second half of the season.

Scores in win Felix scored one goal on his only shot during Sunday's 2-0 win over Villarreal.

Impact Felix hadn't looked very sharp since returning from his COVID-19 isolation until scoring a tidy goal in Sunday's match. Though he's now scored seven times in the league this season, Felix has struggled to stay in the starting lineup for more than a few matches at a time in 2021. He'll hope to take this goal as motivation for a tough derby matchup with Real Madrid on Sunday.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Takes one shot in loss Felix put one shot off target in 82 minutes of Tuesday's loss to Chelsea.

Impact Felix was unceremoniously replaced by Renan Lodi in the final moments of the game after he failed to generate any real impact in the attack throughout the match. It's been a fast return for Felix since his positive COVID-19 test with three matches in a week, but it's not exactly like he'll get many easy breaks over the next few weeks either. Up next is a match at Villarreal, which have conceded the join fifth-most goals to attacking midfielders in La Liga in a position where Felix has spent most of his time since returning.

Logs four shots in defeat Felix took four shots (three on goal) during Saturday's 2-0 loss to Levante.

Impact Felix made his first start since returning from his Coronavirus isolation and while he wasn't able to score, this was a good performance to prep him for Tuesday's UCL match against Chelsea.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Available Wednesday Felix made the squad list ahead of Wednesday's match against Levante.

Impact Felix was already pictured in Tuesday's training session and this news confirms his availability. With Angel Correa scoring in the win over Granada, Felix may not start immediately but should be back in the lineup by next Tuesday's UCL match against Chelsea.

Pictured in training Felix (COVID-19) was pictured in training ahead of Wednesday's trip to Levante.

Impact Felix has missed the last two league matches following a positive COVID-19 test, but he's back on the pitch and could be an option as soon as Wednesday. If he needs a couple more days of training, that could change to Saturday, but either way, it looks like he's healthy and ready to go.

FEBRUARY 16 • ROTOWIRE

Could return this week Felix (COVID-19) is a doubt for Wednesday's match against Levante but should be able to return as soon as he tests negative, according to David G. Medina of MARCA.

Impact Felix tested positive for COVID-19 at the beginning of February and all that's left for him is to return a negative test and come back for a busy finish to the month. As long as he remains out, Angel Correa will start as the second forward next to Luis Suarez.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Tests positive for COVID-19 Felix has tested positive for COVID-19 and is isolating at home. He'll likely miss the next two matches, but he should be back in time when Champions League returns.

Impact The hope for Felix is that he gets this out of his system before Champions League, which begins Feb. 23 for Atletico. If all goes well, he'll be back about a week before that contest, though that's the best-case scenario at this point. Atleti will likely use Angel Correa up front next to Luis Suarez over the next couple contests.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Scores goal against Valencia Felix scored a goal and recorded an assist in Sunday's 3-1 victory against Valencia. He also made an interception and he took three shots overall in the match.

Makes bench Tuesday Felix (undisclosed) is on the bench for Tuesday's match against Sevilla.

Impact Felix has been dealing with a minor issue the last few days and it keeps him on the bench Tuesday. The hope is that he gets a few minutes against Sevilla and then returns to the starting XI for the next league match which is more than a week away.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Trains with team, still a doubt Felix participated in Friday's training session but is still questionable for Saturday's match against Athletic Club, according to manager Diego Simeone.

Impact Felix is at least guaranteed a place in the squad list for Saturday's match but may be limited in his ability to play. Though he recorded an assist in the last match against Deportivo Alaves, Felix hasn't scored a league goal since Nov. 7 and needs to get into a rhythm before earning greater fantasy attention. If Felix is unable to begin the match, Angel Correa would likely get another chance to start despite taking just one shot during his last appearance.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Logs assist off bench Felix provided one assist from one chance created and put one shot off target during Sunday's 2-1 win over Deportivo Alaves.

Impact Felix came off the bench to replace Angel Correa and the decision paid off with his first assist in 10 starts (one chance created in last five appearances). Given Correa's continued struggles, Felix should hope to return to the lineup for the next match against Athletic Bilbao.

Makes squad list against Getafe Felix (mouth) made the squad list for Wednesday's match against Getafe.

Impact Felix was dealing with a case of pharyngitis that caused him to miss the last match against Real Sociedad but it didn't take long for him to return to training. As a result, he was rewarded with a place in the team and now needs to make the starting lineup to seal a full recovery.

DECEMBER 30, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Should play against Getafe Felix missed the last match against Real Sociedad due to a case of pharyngitis but is likely to play Wednesday against Getafe, according to El Desmarque.

Impact After begin pictured in training on Monday, Felix has a good shot to return to the starting lineup following an extended holiday break. He's only scored one goal in his last eight appearances, so his confidence may not be as high going into a match against Getafe, which have yet to concede a goal to a forward this season.
