Palmeiras beat Independiente del Valle 2-1 at home in the fifth round of the group stage of the Copa Libertadores on May 17, but the team's victory was overshadowed by an injury to 17-year-old Brazilian international Ndrick.
Palmeiras put on a great performance in this match, eventually beating their rivals Valley Independence by a score of 2-1. However, during the match, Endrick was frequently fouled by the opponents and was eventually carried off the field on a stretcher in the middle of the match due to an injury. Endrick left the field with a pained expression, which triggered widespread concern among fans.
FC Palmeiras confirmed that Endrick has begun treatment for an edema in his right thigh. No specific timetable has been set for his return. Brazilian media outlet Globo revealed that Endrick's injury is not serious and is even less serious than the last time he was selected for Brazil. He will probably still play in club matches until he competes in the Copa America in June.
Endrick has played 20 games for Palmeiras this season, contributing four goals and two assists. He has been highly regarded for his performances and is expected to officially join Real Madrid this summer.
