Endrick’s debut with Olympique Lyon delayed: when could it happen?
Brazilian forward Endrick, formerly of Real Madrid, is already training with the French side, but an unexpected issue is delaying his debut.
Endrick decided to take a new direction in his career and, due to a lack of playing time at Real Madrid, chose to join Olympique Lyon, where he is already training in preparation for his debut. However, the long-awaited moment will have to wait.
What will delay Endrick’s debut with Olympique Lyon?
Despite having already joined training with Olympique Lyon, currently fifth in Ligue 1, the Brazilian forward will not be able to make his debut immediately due to a bureaucratic issue.
His registration is expected to be completed on January 2, making it unlikely that he will feature on Saturday, January 3, when Lyon travel to face Monaco at the Groupama Stadium.
The next possible opportunity for Endrick’s debut would be on January 11, against Lille in the French Cup.
Endrick, a rising phenomenon at Olympique Lyon
Despite limited playing time at Real Madrid, Endrick remains highly regarded with the Brazil national team and is still considered one of the most exciting prospects in European football. The young forward hopes to play a key role in Lyon’s push up the Ligue 1 table.
A clear sign of the excitement surrounding his arrival is that the video announcing Endrick’s signing has already surpassed one million views on Olympique Lyon’s Instagram account, despite being released just before the holiday period.
