Endrick
LYO
Continues progress on the pitch
Endrick (undisclosed) advanced in his recovery Wednesday with individualized work, completing part of his program on the field during Real Madrid's second training session of the week at the Ciudad Real Madrid, according to Melchor Ruiz.
Analysis: Endrick continues to make progress but remains outside the full team dynamic as Madrid ramp up intensity ahead of Saturday's season opener against Espanyol at RCDE Stadium. The session was split between gym work and pitch exercises under coach Jose Mourinho's staff as the group fine tunes its preparations. Endrick is expected to serve as a backup option at both center forward and right wing once he's fully reintegrated into team training. His gradual progress will be one of the key storylines to track as Madrid finalize their squad plans for the weekend.
To miss friendly vs. Schalke
Endrick (muscular) is set to miss Sunday's friendly against Schalke due to a muscular overload issue, according to Melchor Ruiz of COPE.
Analysis: Endrick did not train on the pitch with the group and instead worked indoors, with Real Madrid prioritizing caution given he only began preseason on July 29 following his World Cup involvement. Despite this latest setback, he's still expected to be available for the LaLiga debut against Espanyol on Aug. 22. Endrick is expected to continue his recovery process over the coming days.
Back at Valdebebas
Endrick has returned to Valdebebas following his participation with Brazil at the World Cup, according to Madrid Xtra.
Analysis: Endrick spent last season on loan at Lyon, making 16 Ligue 1 appearances and contributing five goals, including one penalty, along with seven assists across 1,313 minutes, a productive spell that added valuable senior experience at just 19 years old. His return now shifts focus to preseason with Real Madrid following the loan stint. The forward is expected to undergo his own individual buildup before being reintegrated into full training. Endrick is expected to compete for a role in Real Madrid's attack as the new season approaches.
Returns to Real Madrid
Endrick will return to Real Madrid following the conclusion of his loan spell at Lyon.
Analysis: Endrick made 16 Ligue 1 appearances during his time at Lyon, contributing five goals including one from the penalty spot and seven assists across 1,313 minutes of action. The young Brazilian made a meaningful impact during his loan stint, demonstrating his ability to contribute both as a starter and from the bench during what proved to be a valuable developmental spell in the French top flight. He is currently representing Brazil at the World Cup before returning to Real Madrid, having added significant senior experience to his profile at just 19 years old.
Sets up team's lone goal
Endrick assisted once to go with eight shots (two on goal), seven crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 2-1 loss versus Toulouse. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 56th minute.
Analysis: Endrick was a constant threat going forward, and while he was unable to get his name on the scoresheet despite registering a season-high shot count, he still left his mark by teeing up Corentin Tolisso for the team's only goal. The assist was his fourth of the campaign and his sixth goal contribution across the last seven games, a run during which he has been relentless in attack, firing 22 shots and creating 14 chances to go along with two goals and four assists.
Nets in win over Rennes
Endrick scored a goal while taking three shots (one on goal), crossing five times (one accurate) and creating four chances during Sunday's 4-2 win over Rennes.
Analysis: Endrick found the back of the net in the 75th minute scoring Lyon's final goal while leading the team in chances created. The attacker has three goal involvements while combining for eight shots, eight chances created and 10 crosses over his last three starts.
Inaccurate crossing
Endrick had two shots (one on goal), five crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-2 win over AJ Auxerre.
Analysis: The forward didn't log a single accurate cross of his five, though he was able to put one of his two shots on target. Endrick should have more room to operate against a Rennes side which has conceded 41 goals so far in this Ligue 1 season.
Records goal and assist
Endrick scored one goal and assisted once from three shots and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Paris Saint-Germain.
Analysis: Endrick delivered a solid performance in Sunday's 2-1 upset victory over PSG at Parc des Princes, opening the scoring in the first half with a clinical near-post finish from Afonso Moreira's through ball, before turning provider in the second PSG defensive breakdown twelve minutes later on a counterattack to make it 2-0. The Brazilian added two further shots, two key passes and was a constant nightmare for the hosts with his movement and acceleration before being substituted in the second half. On loan from Real Madrid, Endrick now has four Ligue 1 goals and six assists since arriving in January.
