Watch Joao Felix 'row with Thomas Lemar in fiery training ground bust-up' after ex-Chelsea star's transfer bombshell | The Sun
ATLETICO MADRID's wantaway star Joao Felix was filmed having what appeared to be a heated row with team-mate Thomas Lemar.
Felix has fallen out of favour at Atletico with manager Diego Simeone making it clear he is no longer part of his plans since last season.
The forward, who joined Atleti in 2019 following a club record £111million deal from Benfica, spent the second half of last term on loan at Chelsea after a £10m agreement.

And it seems like tensions are rising as the 23-year-old appeared to have a scuffle with Lemar during pre-season training.
The camera caught Felix throwing a towel at the attacking midfielder in front of his team-mates.

Felix's statement angered Atletico fans so much that his plaque was vandalised outside the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
