Joao Felix: When will he return for Chelsea after suspension in his debut match?

Joao Felix suffered a nightmare debut for Chelsea after his loan transfer from Atletico Madrid, with the Portuguese sent off in a derby at Fulham.

After being named to Graham Potter's starting lineup at Craven Cottage, the 23-year-old forward had shown promise, but in the 58th minute, he recklessly collided with Kenny Tete and received a straight red card. After being reduced to 10 men, Chelsea lost 2-1, and Felix's moment of insanity added to the pressure already placed on Blues manager Graham Potter.

Moreover, there comes a question of how many games will Joao Felix miss, he will now have to face a three-match suspension after being dismissed by referee David Coote for a reckless tackle. A player will miss one game if they receive two yellow cards in one game, two games if they receive a red card for dissent, and three games if they receive a red card for violent conduct.



Against who will those games be played? Felix will no longer be in Potter's plans for upcoming Premier League games against Crystal Palace, Liverpool, and Fulham after playing less than an hour of competitive football for Chelsea on his debut match before getting the red card. He will be back in the running for the February 11 London derby matchup against West Ham.

As per the latest news, Felix's red card will cost Chelsea more than just a few minutes on the field as it is reported that the Blues will pay £2.1 million while their new addition in the winter window serves an untimely suspension after agreeing to pay a £9 million ($11 million) loan fee and cover all of the Portugal international's remuneration during a short-term deal in England.
