Endrick Felipe furious at his selection at Real Madrid
Summer was difficult for Endrick, which was forfeited for the Club World Cup in May due to a tear in the hamstrings. While he was watching Garcia proven in the United States, Endrick had accepted a loan to Real Sociedad, but a relapse of his injury canceled this transfer. The 19 -year -old should now stay at Real Madrid next season and run for a place, with the aim of a return at the end of September or October.
According to RadioMarca, Endrick is clearly unhappy with Real Madrid. The Brazilian could not hide his disappointment by learning that Garcia would be the new number 9 and not him.

Garcia will be the first Spanish player to wear number 9 in 21 years, after the departure of Fernando Morientes. Ronaldo Nazario has succeeded him, and since then, Roberto Sangodo, Javier Saviola, Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, wore the jersey, before Mbappé took him last summer.
