Ruthless! Jorge Jesus sidelines João Félix’s teammate over weight issues | OneFootball

Jorge Jesus - who recalled his time at Luz - is furious with Wesley. The Brazilian winger returned from the Brazilian under-20 national team with excess weight, and the former Benfica coach took drastic measures, sidelining the forward who shares a locker room with João Félix at Al Nassr.

According to information revealed by the Saudi press, Wesley was granted a vacation period after participating in the Under-20 World Cup. However, the player reportedly let himself go and returned to Arabia out of shape, which left Jorge Jesus very irritated.

To correct the situation, the former Benfica coach put Wesley in intensive training, away from the Al Nassr squad, for the player to regain physical fitness. The young winger will return to work with his teammates and be an option for Jorge Jesus once he loses some weight.

Al Nassr started the season in the best way, with eight wins and one draw in nine games, currently leading the Saudi Premier League table with 12 points, two more than Al Qadisiya, the second-placed team with 10 points.

As for Wesley - currently valued at 4 million euros - he was used by Jorge Jesus in only four matches throughout the season. In the 268 minutes he was on the field, the 20-year-old player scored two goals for Al Nassr.
