Bad news for Endrick. The Brazilian striker has relapsed from his right thigh hamstring injury and will be out for another 8-10 weeks. This opens the door to the first team for Gonzalo, who could stay instead of going out on loan.
The 2025-26 season has not started well for Endrick. After missing the Club World Cup due to a hamstring injury in his right thigh on 18th May, the Brazilian striker has relapsed while finalising his recovery.
First ‘The Athletic’ and then ‘Marca’ confirmed the injury of the striker, who will be out of action for at least two more months in his most complicated moment since his arrival at Real Madrid. Specifically, between eight and ten weeks.
Endrick’s injury, coupled with Mbappe’s gastroenteritis, opened the doors to the first team for Gonzalo, who knocked them down by proclaiming himself the best scorer at the Club World Cup.
This new ailment for the Brazilian will mean that the youth academy player will have opportunities in the first team and will not go out on loan to Getafe, with whom he supposedly had a loan agreement.
For the time being, Xabi Alonso will not be able to count on one of Real Madrid’s big bets last summer. Endrick will have to start again to win the confidence of his new coach.
