Real Madrid expects Endrick to recover from injury before September 15th
Brazilian striker pushing for LaLiga debut under Xabi Alonso
Real Madrid are hopeful that Endrick will be fully fit and available for selection by September 15, according to Diário AS. The young Brazilian forward, who is yet to debut under new head coach Xabi Alonso, continues his recovery from a recent muscle injury.
Endrick working toward comeback
The 17-year-old has reportedly intensified his recovery program, aiming to be included in the squad for Real Madrid’s LaLiga fixture against Real Sociedad in Round 4. If all goes according to plan, it could mark his long-awaited debut for the Spanish giants.
Endrick has not featured since joining Madrid in July following his standout performances for Palmeiras and Brazil’s national youth teams. His integration into the first team has been delayed due to this injury setback.
Gonzalo García’s rise complicates Endrick’s path
In Endrick’s absence, Gonzalo García has seized his opportunity, making headlines during the Club World Cup. The Spanish forward’s impressive performances have earned him more minutes and attention from the coaching staff, potentially complicating Endrick’s short-term role in the squad.
The shift in internal competition could affect the Brazilian’s position within the club hierarchy, but sources close to the player say he remains determined to fight for a place and prove himself to Xabi Alonso.
Real Madrid’s LaLiga campaign underway
Real Madrid will kick off their 2024/25 LaLiga season on August 19 against Osasuna at the Santiago Bernabéu, with kick-off scheduled for 4:00 PM local time.
If Endrick is unable to return in time for the August 30 clash against Mallorca, the match against Real Sociedad projected for mid-September remains the likely target for his competitive debut.
