Joao Felix has said he expects to be out for the rest of the season after sustaining a hamstring injury in Atletico Madrid’s win over Espanyol on Sunday.
Felix, who was forced off at half-time at the Wanda Metropolitano, wrote on Instagram: “Unfortunately, the news is not what I was hoping and it is with deep sadness that I see myself unable to help my team in what is left of the season.
“Now I can only support Atleti from the side and work hard on my recovery to come back stronger.”
Felix’s absence is a significant blow to Atletico’s hopes of finishing in La Liga’s top four and securing Champions League qualification.
Thomas Lemar was also taken off at half-time against Espanyol, with Atletico confirming on Monday he also has a hamstring injury.
