The Portugal international rejoined the Blues from Atletico last summer and he has since been in-and-out of their starting plans.

Felix has seven goal contributions in his 15 appearances this term, but he won't be available for the forthcoming game against Astana.

The versatile attacker has been left out of the travelling squad after picking up an injury in a training session earlier this week.

Blues manager Enzo Maresca has picked a young squad for the trip to Kazakhstan and Josh Acheampong is one of the assured starters.

The 18-year-old was sidelined recently due to his contract stand-off, but he has now agreed to put pen-to-paper on a long-term deal.

The Blues graduate is set to make his full senior debut tomorrow and he has the opportunity to make a big impression on the manager.

Chelsea are top of the Conference League with 12 points from four games and can seal their last 16 berth with a win tomorrow.
