Endrick’s mission to become a Real Madrid regular was recently hampered once again and has been out of action with a hamstring injury since the start of the season.

Speaking ahead of their La Liga clash with Villareal on Saturday (October 4) Alonso admitted that competition for places is fierce, but “his time will come.”

“He has a chance to be a starter. He’s coming off a slightly longer injury, but he’s been training well for a few weeks now and it’s just a matter of finding the right context in the game for him to come on," said the Spaniard.

He added: “He has a goal-scoring instinct, a brutal finish. There’s just a lot of competition, but his time will come.”
