Real Madrid’s Brazil sensation Endrick has been the subject of the week amongst the Madrid faithfuls. The youngstar marked his entry into the champions league in style, scoring a world-die on his debut. His goal on the night made him Real Madrid’s youngest goal scorer in the competition, surpassing the legend Raul.

Since his move from Brazil, the young talent has not seen much minutes come his way. However, he has looked to always try to make things happen when called upon. With two goals now for the club, Endrick will be aiming at higher numbers.

Amidst his recent performances, Spanish newspaper, Diario AS has made some claims on the youngstar getting a start for the club in the coming games.

Endrick to get first start for Real Madrid

Real Madrid will take-on Espanyol later today at the Bernabéu, and will also play host to Alaves on Tuesday. According to the source, Endrick is expected to be a starter in one of this two games. This will mark his first official start for the club since arriving from Brazil.

The youngstar’s appearance in the line-up is highly weighed on Ancelotti’s rotation plans, and above all, his performances and hard work. With the los blancos traveling away to the Wanda metropolitano on Sunday vs Atlético, Ancelotti will need his big guns well rested.

A turning point in Endrick’s career

When Endrick arrived in the summer, although there were expectations, they were never this high. He’s now considered one of the real possibilities Ancelotti can count on off the bench.

A natural striker, Endrick offers a different profile from players like Mbappe who are wingers made strikers. He operates as a pure number 9, hungry for goals only.

With Real Madrid in action tonight, should Endrick get a start, it will be another chance for him to further strengthen his case, and give Ancelotti more to think about in the starting lineup. However, regardless of his performance tonight, Ancelotti’s trust in him won’t change.
