Joao Felix out from Chelsea squad for Man City clash

Joao Felix will not be able to partake in Chelsea's Premier League clash against Manchester City on Saturday evening. 

The Portuguese forward has flown home following a family bereavement, 'Telegraph' journalist Matt Law reported.

According to the same source, the club granted him a compassionate leave as Maresca's men travel to the Etihad with kick-off at 18:30 CET.

Felix has not been heavily involved with the Blues this term. His last Premier League start was on December 4 against Southampton at the St. Mary's.
