Endrick handed first Real Madrid start against Sevilla in La Liga

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has given Brazilian striker Endrick his first start of the season in Sunday's La Liga clash against Sevilla at the Bernabeu.

Endrick impressed after coming off the bench to score against Roma in the Champions League, helping his team stage a comeback from 3-1 down to win 4-3 in the Italian capital.

With fellow Brazilian Vinicius Junior suspended, Endrick will lead the attack alongside Kylian Mbappe and Yan Diomande. Jude Bellingham anchors the midfield with Arda Guler and Aurelien Tchouameni, while captain Fede Valverde moves to right-back, leaving his usual midfield role.
