Club World Cup: Real Madrid deprived of its star talent!

Major blow for Real Madrid ahead of the Club World Cup: one of their most promising young talents will miss the tournament!

After a disappointing season for Los Blancos, with no silverware to show for it, Carlo Ancelotti is set to bow out following the final La Liga match against Real Sociedad.

Despite the arrival of Kylian Mbappé, who has delivered some impressive performances, the Italian manager failed to get all the team’s offensive stars playing in harmony.

A first setback for Xabi Alonso

Now, hopes are pinned on Xabi Alonso, who will take the reins of the club in the coming weeks. His first major challenge: the Club World Cup, scheduled from June 15 to July 13.

However, the Spanish tactician will have to make do without his Brazilian wonderkid, Endrick.

The young Brazilian, who was widely expected to play a major role in the probable absence of Rodrygo—being pursued by Arsenal and Chelsea—has been forced to withdraw.

Suffering from a joint tendon injury in his right hamstring, Endrick will be sidelined for two months.

A frustrating setback for Alonso, who was counting on this tournament to relaunch the Taguatinga sensation.
