Atletico Madrid Confirm Joao Felix Suffered Sprained Ankle During Valencia Clash

Atletico Madrid look set to be without Joao Felix for around two weeks, following an ankle sprain suffered in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Valencia.

In a damaging final ten minutes, Diego Simeone lost Felix to injury and watched Dani Parejo's late equaliser deny his side all three points - a missed opportunity in the 2019/20 title race.

The injury looked like it might be a nasty one at the time and the club have confirmed via their official website that the young Portuguese has sustained a grade two sprain of the right ankle's external lateral ligament.
