Still without a single minute of play since the start of the season, Endrick is having a frustrating few weeks at Real Madrid. Returning from injury for several weeks, the young 19-year-old Brazilian remains stuck behind Kylian Mbappé and Gonzalo Garcia in the hierarchy of number 9s. Despite his efforts in training and his refusal to leave on loan, the striker has not yet had the slightest chance to show himself under the orders of Xabi Alonso, who nevertheless ensures that “his time will come”. A situation which is starting to raise concerns in Brazil, where his repeated absence is causing concern as the 2026 World Cup approaches.
Faced with this difficult period, the player's father, Douglas Endrick, wanted to send him a strong message on social networks. “I know how focused you are on football every day of your life, how good you are. You are a winner, a warrior »he wrote, before adding: “Your star will shine. Your future is up there. I love you. » A symbolic support which says a lot about Endrick's intact determination and the confidence his family maintains in his talent, despite this start to the season marked by impatience and frustration.
