Endrick spotted playing Rock, Paper, Scissors with fan as Real Madrid prepare his return
Real Madrid forward Endrick is closing in on his comeback from injury, but he made headlines off the pitch this weekend after being filmed playing Rock, Paper, Scissors with a fan during the team’s 2-1 win over Mallorca.
The Brazilian striker, sidelined since last season with a hamstring problem, was seen in the VIP area alongside his wife when a supporter challenged him to the lighthearted game. The moment quickly went viral on social media, showing the 18-year-old relaxed despite his absence from the pitch.
On the field, Real Madrid secured the victory thanks to goals from Arda Güler and Vinícius Júnior, keeping up momentum in La Liga.
Xabi Alonso promises more chances for Endrick
Endrick’s adaptation in Spain has not been easy. He struggled for minutes under former coach Carlo Ancelotti and missed the Club World Cup due to injury. But with Xabi Alonso now at the helm, there is renewed optimism. The new manager has reportedly assured that Endrick will be given more opportunities this season, despite speculation about a potential loan move.
Determined to convince the coach
According to reports from Planeta Real Madrid, Endrick has been making extra efforts in training, arriving early each day to demonstrate his commitment. Journalists Mario Cortegana and Guillermo Rai suggest he is expected to be available for Real Madrid’s next clash against Real Sociedad.
Last season, Endrick featured in 37 matches across all competitions but started only eight. Despite the limited playing time, he scored seven goals in his debut year at the Santiago Bernabéu.
