Real Madrid teenage talent faces tough road back amid fierce competition | OneFootball

Real Madrid forward Endrick knows that returning from injury and reclaiming a spot in the first team will not be easy.

According to AS, the 19-year-old Brazilian is aware that he will need to impress Xabi Alonso to earn regular minutes.

However, the challenge is significant, especially with Kylian Mbappe firmly established in the squad and Gonzalo Garcia emerging as a strong contender for playing time.

Endrick has yet to rejoin full group training, though plans are in place for him to do so during the international break.

While this will be a key step in his recovery, he is still not ready to feature in competitive matches.

As a result, Real Madrid have already ruled out his participation in the upcoming La Liga clash against Real Sociedad.

The expectation is that he will be ready to play before the next international break in October.

Despite Gonzalo’s rise, the club continues to hold high hopes for Endrick. His potential and the attention generated since his arrival have made his progress a constant topic of discussion.

This season is particularly important for the young Brazilian, as he faces a real risk of limited playing time due to the fierce competition for spots behind Mbappe.

Endrick understands the challenge and has committed himself fully to Real Madrid. Gonzalo’s presence only intensifies the fight to secure minutes and make an impact.

With a World Cup on the horizon, the stakes are even higher. Endrick hopes to impress both at the club level and in the eyes of Carlo Ancelotti, aiming to be included in the national team squad for the tournament.

For the 19-year-old, this season is about resilience, focus, and proving that he can compete at the highest level.

Real Madrid will be closely monitoring his progress, but it is clear that Endrick is ready to give everything to secure his place in one of the world’s most demanding squads.
