CHELSEA loanee Joao Felix is reportedly being iced out on the pitch by his AC Milan team-mates.

Felix has endured a torrid first month on loan in Italy and was even branded a "disaster" after Milan's 2-1 defeat to Bologna.

Felix played 61 minutes in his side's 2-1 away defeat to Torino on Saturday before being replaced by Riccardo Sottil.

And Italian outlet Corriere della Sera described the Portuguese forward as "the worst on the pitch" after Milan's second consecutive loss.

Felix joined Milan on loan from Chelsea on deadline day during the January transfer window.

But his form has been largely abject since scoring a delicate chip inside 12 minutes on his debut for the club.

The once £113million player (from Benfica to Atletico Madrid) has failed to score or assist in his five subsequent appearances, despite starting every game.

And criticism reached an all-time high following his below par performance against Bologna.

Corriere della Sera wrote: "He is neither seen nor heard. He doesn't make a single move, even his team-mates avoid him."

The result leaves Milan seventh in the table, eight points adrift of the top four.

Felix loan move came about despite only joining the Blues permanently in the summer, penning a deal until 2031.

Just five months ago Chelsea paid £45m to sign him from Atletico Madrid.
