Real Madrid's Endrick shakes off injury scare, ready for Valencia clash

Real Madrid's Endrick shakes off injury scare, ready for Valencia clash

Brazilian forward Endrick rejoined his Real Madrid teammates in full training today, dispelling any concerns after he had to leave a session early due to discomfort.

This positive development comes just in time for Real Madrid's La Liga match against Valencia at Mestalla this Friday at Mestalla Stadium.

The 17-year-old's participation in training was a significant relief for manager Carlo Ancelotti, who had been watching the youngster's recovery closely.

"Endrick trained normally today, which is great news for us," Ancelotti remarked, indicating that the young star is likely to be available for selection.

The session itself was routine for the most part, with the team starting in the gym before moving out to the pitch for drills focusing on possession, ball control, passing out from the back, and pressing. The training concluded with a series of small-sided games and shooting practice.

On the injury front, updates remain mixed. David Alaba managed part of the session with the team, showing signs of recovery, but Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao are still sidelined with their long-term injuries.

"We're managing our resources carefully," Ancelotti added, with these three players being the only absentees for the upcoming game.

However, there's good news with Vinicius Junior, who returns from suspension after missing the last match against Sevilla. His availability adds significant firepower to Madrid's attack.

As Real Madrid prepares to face Valencia in La Liga, the focus will be on maintaining their form and integrating key players back into the lineup, with Endrick's swift recovery being a crucial element in their strategy
