Debut expected against Lille

Fonseca stated in a press conference that Endrick is physically fit and has participated in all training sessions with the squad. “I don't think Endrick can play 90 minutes, but he will play for a few minutes. I can't say if he will start or not, but he should play. Physically, he is in shape and has taken part in all the training sessions,” said the Portuguese coach.

Physical preparation and adaptation

Despite his youth, Endrick arrives at Lyon with the expectation of quickly contributing to the team. In Fonseca's view, the fact that he has fully participated in training activities shows that the player is being integrated into the group and already feels comfortable with the team's dynamics.

His appearance on the field, even if only for a limited period, will serve as an important step in his adaptation to the new club. “He needs some time to understand the team's playing style and how his teammates play,” Fonseca confirmed.
