Atlético Madrid were one the many Spanish clubs amongst the top-two divisions to resume training on Monday and João Félix couldn’t be happier to be back.
LaLiga are desperate to complete the season and are planning to have games every day behind closed doors beginning on the 12th of June.
“We’re feeling very good and are very excited about playing again, if it were up to us we would return this weekend but we’ll have to wait and work hard so we can get off to a good start,” Felix told Atlético’s website.
“We worked hard at home to make sure we didn’t lose our fitness and it’s been easy to get back to doing cardio work.
“Now we’re starting to work with the ball again and will do that every day so we can return to normality.
“It’s the first day we have been able to come together and we have been playing lots of small-sided games which is what we love doing and what we were missing the most.
“I missed playing against my team-mates and scoring goals.”
When LaLiga resumes once again, Atlético Madrid will start in sixth place, one point behind Real Sociedad for the fourth and final Champions League place with 11 games to play.
