Real Madrid might have suffered a new injury setback as they got back to training for their forthcoming La Liga matchup against Valencia.
Although Carlo Ancelotti and his team welcomed David Alaba back to group training today, they are now facing questions regarding another player’s fitness.
According to journalist Guillermo Rai as reported by Madrid Universal, Los Blancos teenage phenom Endrick left today’s training session in pain.
The 18-year-old appeared to have pulled up some issue during the last action of the training session today and was immediately attended to by the club doctors.

Soon after, Endrick made his way off the training pitch, but not before having a talk with the club doctor Felipe Segura.
Real Madrid are concerned about this situation because they have at least seven games in January, with the possibility of playing nine.
Although Endrick has struggled to get minutes under Ancelotti this season, he put forth a lot of effort at the midseason break to gain the manager’s trust.
According to some reports, the 18-year-old Brazilian attacker might start for Real Madrid against Deportivo Minera in the Copa del Rey next week.
It is yet unknown, though, how much Endrick is uncomfortable and whether the forward is hurt, which might cause him to miss games during a hectic period.
