Endrick gave a scare during training
Endrick gave a scare in Monday’s (17th) training session after a clash on the field.
During the activity, conducted by Dorival Júnior on a reduced field, the striker got the worst of the play. The young player was part of a trio who had to attack with the ball and then return marking pressure on the counterattack.
The player had to be attended to on the pitch and was limping for a few minutes after the collision, in the lower part of the shin, near the ankle.
However, when the activity was being closed to the press, Endrick was already able to run normally.
