FORMER Chelsea star Kenedy has missed out on a move to Olympiacos after failing his medical.
The Brazilian left Stamford Bridge for Spanish side Real Valladolid last year.

After just one season in Spain, Kenedy looked all set to move to Greece after agreeing a deal.
But the transfer has fallen through at the eleventh hour following the 27-year-old’s medical.
After tests it was deemed that it would take around a month and a half for Kenedy to regain full fitness.
This would see him miss out on all of Olympiacos’ Europa League qualifiers – which kick off on August 10.
The Greek giants are set to face either Genk of Belgium or Swiss side Servette.
Kenedy joined Chelsea from Fluminense for £6.3million in 2015.
He made 20 appearances for the Blues in all competitions during his first season, before a series of loan moves.
The left-sided player had temporary spells at Watford, Newcastle, Getafe, Granada and Flamengo during his time at Stamford Bridge.

He went on to make what had seemed an unlikely return to Thomas Tuchel’s first team squad during the 2021-22 campaign.
Kenedy played 30 times in total for Chelsea, before joining Real Valladolid last September.
He made just 13 appearances for the LaLiga side last term during an injury-hit campaign.
The former Blue recently got a tattoo of Jesus on his head.
His latest ink adds to the many tattoos he already had on his legs and arms.
