Real Madrid Forward Endrick Suffers Hamstring Injury Setback

Real Madrid's young striker Endrick continues to face significant challenges as he recovers from a hamstring injury sustained at the end of last season. Initially expected to be sidelined for two months, Endrick suffered a relapse during the final stages of his recovery, delaying his return to the pitch for several more weeks and ruling him out of the early part of the 2025-26 La Liga season. The injury prevented him from participating in the recent FIFA Club World Cup, where Real Madrid was eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain in the semifinals. Despite speculation about his future, Endrick remains committed to staying with Real Madrid and earning his place under new coach Xabi Alonso. Meanwhile, the club is also monitoring the fitness of new signing Trent Alexander-Arnold, who missed the Club World Cup semifinal due to a muscle injury. Real Madrid will hope these fitness issues are resolved ahead of their La Liga opener against Osasuna on August 19.
