Why is Joao Félix not playing and coming on as a substitute in Chelsea – Real Madrid, for the first leg of the 2022-23 Champions League quarter-finals?
For this game, the absence of Joao Félix from Lampard’s starting eleven is surprising. The former Chelsea player starts betting Kepa, Reece James, Fofana, Thiago Silva, Chalobah, Cucurella, Enzo Fernández, Kanté, Kovacic, Gallagher and Havertz.
Few expected the former Atlético de Madrid footballer, starter in the first leg played in the Spanish capital, to drop out of the eleven for the rematch on Tuesday. Lampard’s technical decision means that both Joao and Sterling, who also started at the Bernabéu, will have to wait on the substitute bench for their chance.
