Real Madrid s Endrick could miss Club World Cup with hamstring injury

Real Madrid forward Endrick suffered a hamstring injury during their 2-0 victory over Sevilla, the LaLiga club said on Wednesday, in the latest injury blow to the team.

Real did not provide a timeline for the players return, but Spanish media reported the Brazil international could be sidelined for at least two months, forcing him out of the Club World Cup in the United States.

Following tests carried out today on our player Endrick by Real Madrids medical services, he has been diagnosed with an injury to the hamstring tendon in his right leg. He will be monitored closely, Real said in a statement.

The 18-year-old will also miss Brazils upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay.

Endrick adds to Reals growing injury list, which already includes Vinicius Junior, Lucas Vazquez, Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Eduardo Camavinga, Antonio Rudiger, Ferland Mendy and David Alaba.
