Logs assist in draw Felix provided one assist from two chances created and put three shots off target during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Real Sociedad.

Impact Felix has recorded assists in two straight matches between the league and UCL, which is the first time he's achieved the feat over the last couple of seasons. If he's finally able to match his productions to his evident talents, Felix should be one of the better players on offer for his team and in the league. Until then, he'll focus on traveling to Levante, which have the worst defensive record in La Liga.

Needs surgery for existing injury Felix is expected to undergo ankle surgery this week and miss the next two months while taking care of a pre-exisiting injury, according to Nuno Luz of MARCA. No official statement...

Impact This seems to have been the same ankle that hampered him during the league season with Atletico Madrid as well, and he was still called up to Portugal's team for the Euros only to underwhelm. With this injury being given as the reason for his struggles, Felix will try to take care of the problem and could easily miss the start of the coming campaign. That would put Angel Correa as the second forward next to Luis Suarez when Atleti kick off the season as defending champions.
