Blow for Real Madrid! Xabi Alonso loses him for 2 months, he's injured again

An unexpected setback shakes Real Madrid's preseason and forces Xabi Alonso to adjust his plans in attack

Real Madrid is going through a difficult time regarding the health of its players. An unexpected injury has halted the preparation of one of its most promising talents. This setback directly affects the team's attack, just when everyone was hoping to see him shine more consistently.

The player in question had made progress in his recovery after an injury suffered at the end of last season. However, in a recent training session, he felt discomfort again, which has set off alarms among the coaching staff and the sporting management. Now, everyone must wait to see how this new injury evolves, which doesn't seem to be in a hurry to disappear.

The impact on the squad and new opportunities

With this new setback, the club is forced to restructure its offense. The striker's absence opens the door for other first-team players to gain prominence. In particular, a youth academy player who had patiently waited for his moment until now.

Additionally, this situation ensures Gonzalo García's continuity in the squad, at least at the start of the season. The young player will have the opportunity to share the attacking line with established stars like Vinicius and Mbappé. The situation of Rodrygo also remains unsolved, as his physical condition is still an unknown.

The protagonist: Endrick and his difficult path

After a difficult year, Endrick, the young Brazilian striker, is once again at the center of attention for reasons nobody wanted. The footballer was finishing his recovery from a hamstring injury suffered on May 18 against Sevilla.

However, in the last training session held in the United States, Endrick felt the same injury again. This relapse could keep him off the field for another eight to ten weeks (8 to 10 weeks), depending on how his rehabilitation progresses.

The challenge of recovery and the club's trust

Real Madrid spares no effort to ensure that Endrick receives the best medical and physical care. The absolute priority is for the young striker to recover completely and for this injury to be left behind without any aftereffects.

The trust in Endrick within the club is absolute. In Valdebebas, they are convinced of his quality and his ability to become a key piece of the team. It's only a matter of time and of circumstances becoming more favorable for him to show all his talent on the field.
