The Brazilian's chances have increased amid Vinicius Junior's four-match LaLiga suspension. Mourinho now has to reshape his attacking line, and Endrick has emerged as a serious option on the right, with Kylian Mbappé expected to remain through the middle.

Endrick strengthened his case in spectacular fashion against Roma in the Champions League. He replaced Vinicius in the 59th minute with Madrid trailing and later scored the equalizer in a dramatic 4-3 comeback victory. The Brazilian was also named player of the match after the final whistle.

It is worth noting that before the Sevilla match, Endrick has played only 35 minutes across two Real Madrid appearances this season, scoring one goal.
