ATLETICO MADRID’s wantaway star Joao Felix was filmed having what appeared to be a heated row with team-mate Thomas Lemar.
Felix has fallen out of favour at Atletico with manager Diego Simeone making it clear he is no longer part of his plans since last season.
The forward, who joined Atleti in 2019 following a club record £111million deal from Benfica, spent the second half of last term on loan at Chelsea after a £10m agreement.
However, new Blues manager Mauricio Pochettino opted against signing the Portugal international on a permanent basis and the player has since been looking for a new destination.
And it seems like tensions are rising as the 23-year-old appeared to have a scuffle with Lemar during pre-season training.
The camera caught Felix throwing a towel at the attacking midfielder in front of his team-mates.

The France international caught the towel and exchanged heated words with the Portuguese ace.
Lemar then threw the towel back while the ex-Chelsea player’s back was turned.
But Felix saw it coming and ducked as the unbelievable scene came to an close.
This comes after the wantaway star shocked Atletico fans by publicly declaring his desire to join LaLiga rivals Barcelona.

Felix said: “Barcelona has always been my first choice and I would love to join them.
“It was always my dream since I was a kid. If it happens, it will be a dream come true for me.”
Felix’s statement angered Atletico fans so much that his plaque was vandalised outside the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium.
