This could be Endrick’s last trophy with Palmeiras before leaving to Madri. The forward had to be replaced against Novorizontino and was treated with ice.

Palmeiras’ berth in the Campeonato Paulista (Paulista championship) final was sealed on Thursday when forward Endrick scored the decisive goal in a 1-0 victory over Novorizontino at Allianz Parque. However, Verdão is concerned about the youngster.

This is because Endrick was substituted in the 27th minute of the second half owing to right thigh soreness and began ice therapy on the bench at Allianz Parque. Shortly earlier, he scored the qualifying goal and celebrated by “wearing” the Palmeiras badge like a sideline cape.

The region is the same as where the forward was injured during the Brazilian national team’s play against Spain last Tuesday. He limped practically the entire time he was on the pitch for Brazil.

Endrick is anticipated to receive a more in-depth evaluation during the team’s training session at the Football Academy on Friday. The first leg of the final versus Santos will be played on Sunday at Vila Belmiro, leaving the player with little time to rehabilitate if the injury is more serious.

During the semifinals, Rony replaced the forward. The player could be a substitute for his teammate. Lázaro, Breno Lopes, Luis Guilherme, and Estêvão are all contending for the role.
