Carlo Ancelotti sends out brutal message on Endrick despite Kylian Mbappe's struggles ahead of Real Madrid's clash with Getafe

Endrick has clocked in just 58 minutes of playing time across nine La Liga matches and has started just one match in all competitions since joining Madrid from Palmeiras in the summer.

Asked if the 18-year-old will be trusted to start when Madrid face Getafe on Sunday, Ancelotti interrupted the question, saying: "Endrick will play when I think he is the ideal player to win the game."

The Brazil international's lack of playing time has resulted in reports of a possible loan move in January, with Southampton and Roma said to be interested. Madrid are not planning on letting him leave just yet, however.

Ancelotti gave no indication he will give Endrick the nod to start on Sunday, but he will hope to make an impact if he gets a chance.
