Real Madrid’s rising star, Endrick, faces a significant setback after suffering a hamstring injury during the team’s recent 2-0 victory over Sevilla. He ruptured the distal hamstring tendon in his right leg. Consequently, he will be absent for several key matches, including the final LaLiga match of the season and the Club World Cup. Real Madrid’s medical staff then carried out tests that confirmed the severity of the injury. This injury blow may see the 18-year-old striker miss at least two months of action.
Endrick’s absence will be felt not just in club competitions but on the international stage as well. The Brazil international’s next game will be the World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay next month. This absence will greatly stunt his growth and experience during a crucial period in his career.
Injury Details and Impact
The medical staff at Real Madrid diagnosed Endrick’s injury after a detailed analysis. They promised that the promising young forward would be a player to keep an eye on during his recovery time.

As Endrick starts his recovery, he will be absent for Real Madrid’s last LaLiga game against Real Sociedad on Saturday. This matchup should’ve been a chance for him to continue proving his worth as the season winds down.
Growing Injury List for Real Madrid
Endrick’s injury is the latest in Real Madrid’s growing injury woes. The club is still working through an acute injury crisis with as many as eight key players out. Missing are Vinicius Junior, Lucas Vazquez, Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Eduardo Camavinga, Antonio Rudiger, Ferland Mendy and David Alaba. The growing list of injuries is posing concerns over the depth of the squad as the team gears up for important back-to-back fixtures.
Spanish media are reporting that Endrick’s recovery will require no less than two months. Consequently, he will be absent from the Club World Cup scheduled for early next month in the United States. Real Madrid are preparing to open their Club World Cup campaign when they face Al-Hilal. His loss will certainly be felt across the board in their attacking third.
Looking Ahead
All of this means that while Endrick’s return timeline is still up in the air, Real Madrid should consider changing its approach in the coming years. The club has not announced a timetable for his return. Such uncertainty keeps fans, analysts, and other tinkers alike in suspense regarding how the injury will affect not just his career, but the entire trajectory of the team through upcoming weeks.
