Endrick, 18, previously experienced a similar injury during a friendly against Spain. He’s now focused on a swift recovery to ensure his availability for Sunday’s crucial match at Vila Belmiro.

“I took a knock against Spain and will be evaluated. God willing, it will be nothing. I’ve arrived here by plane, went straight to treatment, and spent all day treating it. I woke up early to ice it. Whatever I can do for Palmeiras, I will. Even without a leg, I’ll play to help my teammates,” Endrick said.

Set to join Real Madrid soon, Endrick is determined to contribute to Palmeiras’ success in his final Campeonato Paulista appearances. “I’m happy to be part of this squad and to score, especially in my last Paulistão. I’ve played in this championship at every level, and I really want to win it. My teammates are like family, and I’ll do everything to help,” he added.
