What's going on with Endrick?

Expected to become Real Madrid's new gem, Endrick is going through the most difficult time since arriving at Santiago Bernabeu.

Endrick has not played a match for Real in the past 5 months.

It's been 154 days since Endrick last played - against Sevilla on May 18, and fans are starting to wonder what's going on with the Brazilian prodigy?

After the 2024/25 season, everything changed dramatically at Real Madrid. Carlo Ancelotti left the coaching position, Xabi Alonso took over. Endrick suffered two muscle injuries, missed the FIFA Club World Cup, and could not find his place in a crowded attack. He received the prestigious number 9 shirt - a symbol belonging to Di Stefano, Ronaldo Nazario or Benzema, but only on the bench.

According to The Athletic , Alonso told the 19-year-old that his chances of playing this season were limited due to fierce competition at the top level. However, Endrick chose to stay at the Bernabeu, believing that his time would come. However, after the 3-1 win over Villarreal last weekend, it was the fifth consecutive match in which he did not play a single minute.

Endrick’s first season wasn’t bad. He played 37 games in all competitions and scored seven goals, more than Vinicius (four) in his first season and the same as Rodrygo. But a lengthy injury layoff cut short his progress. Despite intense rehabilitation efforts, the same pain returned during a training camp in Florida, keeping Endrick out until September.

After recovering, Endrick married his long-time girlfriend Gabriely Miranda, enjoyed a short honeymoon in Japan but still followed a separate training regimen. Endrick's health is now completely stable, but breaking into Alonso's squad is a big challenge.

Endrick is still waiting for his first breakout moment this season, but in Madrid, time is a luxury.
