Real Madrid Starlet Endrick Felipe will participate in the Senior Squad of Brazil next week for an important double header in competitions.
The 18-year-old Die has already overlooked three international goals for the Samba-Jongens-Werd by Dorival Junior.
Based on his lack of action in Madrid since the beginning of 2025, the head coach of Brazil went with other options, including a recall for Neymar Jr.
Neymar started positively on his return to Santos, but the veteran attacker is now forced to pull out of the team because of injury.
Released with a space, a call has been landed in Madrid for Endrick Felipe, and he leaves with clubmates Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo goes for the FIFA World Cup qualifications of 2026 against Colombia and Argentina.
Endrick was used sparingly by Carlo Ancelotti in his debut year in Madrid with only one La Liga goal scored while he remains behind Vini JR, Rodrygo, Kylian Mbappe and Brahim Diaz in the attacking pecking order.
The newest update about Ancelotti's position came after the dramatic penalty shootout from Real Madrid on Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League last 16.
With it scored 2-2 on aggregated on 2-2, Endrick was sent in the last minutes of extra time in the second stage as a replacement for Vini Jr.
The expected plan was that the former Palmeiras striker took the fifth and last penalty against Los Rojiblancos, but Ancelotti changed ideas at the last minute.
The Italian coach stated that he was initially happy to go with Endrick, but the teenager's body language did not feel well and he switched to Antonio Rudiger to throw the clincher home.
Ancelotti quickly played the call, because Endrick remains a young prospect, but it is unlikely that he will be increased to a greater role in the last weeks of the campaign.
