Real Madrid’s young Brazilian talent Endrick has suffered a devastating setback. Just as he was beginning to integrate into first-team life under Xabi Alonso, the 17-year-old forward has relapsed the injury that kept him out since May — and will now be sidelined for at least two more months.

🇧🇷 Endrick’s Determined Start… Ends in Pain

Despite being injured, Endrick traveled to the United States to join the squad during the FIFA Club World Cup. He wasn’t expected to play, but he wanted to be present during Xabi Alonso’s first days as Real Madrid’s new manager — a gesture that shows his hunger and determination.

“He trained with the group and wanted to convince the coach to stay,” reports say.

But unfortunately, things took a turn for the worse.

❌ Relapse Confirmed: Out Until September

Journalist Marcos Benito revealed on El Chiringuito that Endrick suffered a relapse of the hamstring injury (common tendon, right leg) that he initially picked up on May 21st against Sevilla:

🗣️ “He relapsed during a training session before returning to Madrid. It’s the same injury as before — right hamstring tendon — and he will be out for around two months.”

That places his return around mid-September, ruling him out for preseason, LaLiga start, and potentially early Champions League group games.

📉 Loan Deal Now Off the Table

Before this relapse, Endrick was rumored to be heading out on loan, most likely within LaLiga. The plan was to ensure regular playing time in his crucial development year. But now, that plan is impossible:

Medicals can’t happen before transfer deadline Clubs won’t gamble on a player unavailable for 6–8 weeks Madrid themselves won’t want to risk a loan under poor terms

As a result, Endrick will stay in Madrid, likely training alone or with the fitness staff until he recovers.

⚔️ Gonzalo García’s Rise Complicates Things

To make matters even more difficult for the Brazilian, Gonzalo García has exploded in form during the Club World Cup. The Castilla striker was top scorer for Madrid, took his chances with style, and has earned Xabi Alonso’s trust.

Now, with Mbappé, Gonzalo, and Joselu also in the mix, the striker position is highly competitive.

📊 Endrick cost €72 million. But right now, he’s behind in the pecking order, both due to fitness and form.

🔮 What’s Next for Endrick?

Recovery until September Training at Valdebebas with the medical and fitness team Hoping for Copa del Rey or late-season rotation opportunities

He may also play some minutes for Castilla, like Vinicius and Rodrygo once did, to build match sharpness.

One thing is certain: his Real Madrid journey just got a lot more complicated.

TL;DR:

Endrick has relapsed his right hamstring injury from May He’ll be out for 2 months, return expected in September Loan move canceled Gonzalo García has overtaken him in the squad hierarchy The road to first-team minutes is now longer and tougher
