On December 15, 2022, Real Madrid made the signing of Endrick official. Presented as a great hope for Brazilian football, the young man was recruited by Juni Calafat, the Merengues’ talent scout in South America. To overtake and beat the competition, the residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium have put more than 70 million euros on the table, bonus included. But the Auriverde footballer, still a minor, remained in Palmeiras. He will join the residents of the Santiago-Bernabéu stadium once he is of age, on July 21.
A worrying injury
In the meantime, the native of Brasilia has already made a few excursions to Madrid, where he was able to visit the Valdebebas training center, attend a match at the stadium or even get to know Carlo Ancelotti and his future teammates. A taste of what he will experience in a few months. In the meantime, Endrick continues to work wonders at Palmeiras, where he scored two goals and provided an assist in ten matches in all competitions (excluding the Paulista championship). His last appearance took place last night in the Copa Libertadores against Independiente del Valle.
If his team won 2 to 1, the 17-year-old player had to leave the field at the hour mark. Hit in the right leg, visibly in the thigh, he left in tears and on a stretcher. Then, he sat on the bench a few minutes later, he who had an ice pack on his leg. But his closed face reflected his concern. It must be said that a long absence could disrupt his initial plans, since he still had to play 3 or even 4 matches with Palmeiras before joining Brazil to begin preparation for the next Copa América with Brazil.
Brazil and Madrid are waiting
He then had to enjoy a few days of vacation before joining Real Madrid. This injury worries him, as it worries the clubs and selection concerned. Last night, Abel Ferreira, his coach at Palmeiras, said about him: “Regarding Endrick, I still don’t know what happened to him. I know he was in a lot of pain. I hope it’s nothing serious, because he deserves all the best, he helps us a lot. He’s an example for us.” Globo Esporte specified that he must undergo in-depth examinations this Thursday to determine the exact nature of his injury and the duration of his unavailability. In Spain, where we have been following every Endrick match for months, this injury is inevitably making headlines this Thursday morning.
To Madrid, A.S. wrote : “red alert with Endrick! The young striker left the match against Palmeiras injured and on a stretcher. Already on the bench, we saw him with an extremely concerned look. Ditto for Marca, who released: “Endrick goes out on a stretcher injured on the eve of the Copa América. The 9 requested a substitution around the 60th minute and went to the pitch of the Allianz Parque de São Paulo with his right leg outstretched and his hands on his head. In Catalonia, “Sports World” also spoke about his injury: “Alarm at Real Madrid: Endrick leaves on a stretcher injured.” In the Spanish capital as in Brazil, we must pray that this is nothing serious.
