SThe wait is over. Joao Felix returns to the Portugal national team. The Atlético de Madrid player has entered the final list for the matches of the next break, something that had not happened since last Eurocup. Santos left him out on the first list, Atlético was still recovering from his injury and from the second, a situation that was already stranger.
Playing for Atlético was playing high-level matches under the orders of Simeone. In fact, in some of them he had already shown his ability to overflow and leadership that the Argentine coach asked him. His continuity in the team has been key for the Portuguese coach to call him up after a forced break from two calls.
Joao returns to a summons dominated by the state of form of Cristiano Ronaldo and in which the absence of the Valencian player stands out Gonçalo Guedes. The black-and-white attacker, who is in one of the best moments of form of his career, similar to the one that led him to be international for the first time, does not fit into Fernando Santos’ plans for the World Cup qualifying matches against Ireland and Serbia.
