Joao Felix had his Atletico Madrid debut cut short by injury as Diego Simeone’s side opened pre-season away to Numancia.
The forward, a €126million signing from Benfica, was named in Simeone’s starting lineup for Saturday’s trip to Estadio Municipal de Burgo de Osma.
But a hip injury meant Joao Felix had to come off in the first half with Angel Correa replacing him.
Simeone also handed debuts to new defenders Kieran Trippier, Mario Hermoso and Renan Lodi while a fifth fresh face, Marcos Llorente, started in midfield.
Correa hit the post shortly before the half-time whistle ended an opening 45 minutes light on goalmouth action at either end.
