Portuguese forward Joao Felix has been axed from Atletico Madrid’s squad for their Copa del Rey game against Oviedo.
There is speculation about the future of Felix this winter, with the attacker linked with a move away from the club.
Felix, who impressed at the World Cup with Portugal, is not getting along with Atleti coach Diego Simeone.
However, reports in Spain and England this week have indicated that a move is very difficult at present.
While the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal retain an interest, Atleti want a significant loan fee or a massive transfer fee to part with Felix.
Unless a club makes a mega offer, he appears likely to remain at Atleti until the summer.
