Overview
- Coach Paulo Fonseca said he is not satisfied with Endrick’s play and wants him “at 100%,” noting the forward reported fatigue after a Brazil trip to the United States.
- He urged the 19-year-old to be more available in attack, saying the player stayed in his zone and was tightly marked during the recent match at Angers.
- Fonseca described Endrick as strong at running in behind but not a dribbler or duel-winner, and said his choices near goal need to improve.
- Endrick has 6 goals and 5 assists in 18 games, with his last Ligue 1 goals on January 25 and his most recent goal on March 12 away to Celta Vigo in Europe.
- Lyon, now sixth after exits from the French Cup and the Europa League and a nine-match winless run, host Lorient next with Endrick under pressure to lift both the club’s European push and his bid to stay in Brazil’s plans.
