Didac Aguirre Neither Modric nor Lucas Vázquez: the player who could have their days numbered
The player who could end up leaving Real Madrid due to his recent situation in the squad
The Club World Cup is proving to be an extremely exciting tournament for Real Madrid. Despite absences and injuries, Xabi managed to get the best potential out of the squad he had available.
However, with some players returning, Endrick's future has been called into question due to the breakthrough of Gonzalo García.
Covering for Mbappé's absence due to his gastroenteritis, Gonzalo is Real Madrid's top scorer. Two goals and one assist is the tally the youth academy player has recorded in the group stage of the Club World Cup for the club.
Xabi Alonso has made it clear in the past that he counts on Endrick. However, his praise for Gonzalo has cast doubt on Endrick's continuity.
Given the major investment Real Madrid made in signing Endrick, the Brazilian could have some opportunities with Xabi. However, if Gonzalo keeps performing the way he has been, a departure by Endrick would be very likely.
The quick farewell
At just 18 years old, Endrick arrived last summer at Real Madrid full of hope. After a great spell as a Palmeiras player, Endrick managed to show his talent in the opportunities he was given. Seven goals and one assist are the numbers Endrick achieved in just 847 minutes (847 min) he managed to play with the club.
Xabi Alonso's arrival as the new coach of Real Madrid was the opportunity Endrick had been waiting for. Fully trusting young players, Xabi clarified that Endrick would be an important player for his schemes.
Unfortunately for the young Brazilian, luck was not on his side after the serious injury he suffered in the final stretch of the season. Unable to play a single minute in the Club World Cup, Gonzalo García seems to have taken a spot Endrick will try to fight for.
The conflict with the forwards
With three forwards in the squad, Xabi Alonso must make a decision as soon as possible to avoid future problems. With Mbappé as the starter, the battle to be the Frenchman's substitute is between two young players who have everything it takes to become great stars for the team.
