Endrick Injury Update: Latest Details, Recovery Timeline and Impact on Team

Real Madrid's injury woes have not come to an end despite the season almost coming to an end. Endrick is the new injured player in Real Madrid's extensive injury list. Real Madrid have struggled to implement a striker within their squad for quite some time after the departure of Karim Benzema. Joselu fit in well for some time, however, his departure created several problems, leaving Endrick as the only pure striker in the squad.

Endrick was struggling to get game time this season at Real Madrid and finally got a chance to prove himself, but sustained a knock and is now out for the next two months. Xabi Alonso is set to come in and has already made a few signings before even joining the club, and might make a demand for a striker since Endrick is now injured for the next two months. Endrick picked up a knock against Sevilla in the second half of a La Liga fixture and is expected to miss the Club World Cup as well, a tournament in which he could have proven his ability to Xabi Alonso. The club released a statement stating that their medical staff had diagnosed Endrick with an injury to the hamstring tendon in his right leg, and he is set to be sidelined for at least two months.
