Real Madrid starlet flourishing on loan set for starting role with national team next month | OneFootball

It has been reported recently that Real Madrid forward Endrick, currently on loan at Lyon, will be rewarded for his performances with a call-up to the Brazilian national team.

This comes after a dream start to life in France for the young forward, who is on loan at Lyon only until the end of the season.

In just five matches for Lyon, the youngster has racked up five goals and an assist, making him by far the most in-form player in France right now.

This has significantly boosted Endrick’s chances of becoming a part of the Brazilian squad, at least for the upcoming international break in March.

Endrick to start for Brazil

Now, according to L’Equipe (h/t Madrid Xtra), it is being reported that Endrick may not only be a part of the Brazilian squad but also start matches for the Selecao.

Indeed, Endrick is expected to start for Brazil for the upcoming friendlies against France and Croatia in March, as Carlo Ancelotti once again tries his luck with the former Palmeiras starlet.

This will prove to be an excellent opportunity for Endrick to showcase his abilities and to make himself a permanent fixture in the Brazil team heading into World Cup 2026.

It is no secret that Endrick is determined to play the World Cup. It is, in fact, one of the reasons why he joined Lyon in January, as he knew limited game-time at Real Madrid will not help his chances of being a part of the Brazil team this summer.

Endrick hopes his synergy with Ancelotti helps him out, as the Italian is well aware of his abilities, having worked together at Real Madrid.
