Real Madrid is going through a restructuring process and Florentino is making the necessary adjustments to the squad. The first change was Xabi Alonso, who replaced Ancelotti with the intention of turning the situation around. The club has finished a season practically without trophies and the fans have been frustrated.
Currently, there are several footballers who have lost prominence in Real Madrid's first team and others who have gained prominence. Those from the Spanish capital have also lost footballers like Endrick due to injuries. Now, bad news has shaken the offices of the Merengue club and they will have to make a decision.
Endrick and the problem for Real Madrid
It has already been a year since Endrick signed for Real Madrid and the results haven't been the desired ones; Ancelotti hasn't given him many opportunities this season. The Brazilian expected a certain amount of minutes, but the reality has been very different and he hasn't been able to establish himself in the starting eleven. In addition, other boys like Gonzalo, a youth player from the white team, have moved ahead of him.
Gonzalo has appeared for the Club World Cup and has become one of the biggest prospects from La Fábrica for this coming year. In just 6 matches, the Spaniard has scored 4 goals and provided 1 assist; something that has pleased the fans a lot. Xabi Alonso already knew he was going to have opportunities during the season, but the latest news that has echoed in the offices has quickly confirmed it.
On May 18, Endrick was injured in a match against Sevilla, a problem that has forced him to step away from the field. What happened to the forward was a right hamstring tendon injury, from which he was already almost recovered. Unfortunately for the forward and for Real Madrid, the Brazilian has relapsed in the United States.
Endrick and Gonzalo, a clear choice
Endrick won't be able to play again for another eight to ten weeks, so he will miss the start of the season. The striker has scored 7 goals and provided 1 assist in a year, so it's also unclear why he hasn't had more minutes. According to several media outlets, Xabi Alonso prefers Gonzalo and it's likely that the Brazilian will have to start thinking about other options.
