Overview
- Fonseca, speaking Friday before Lyon host Lorient, said he is not satisfied with Endrick and that the 19-year-old has an obligation to do more.
- Endrick started brightly on loan from Real Madrid but now has six goals in 15 games and an eight-match Ligue 1 drought without scoring.
- The forward impressed for Brazil in Orlando by winning a penalty and assisting in a 3-1 win over Croatia, yet Fonseca dismissed travel fatigue as a valid excuse.
- Lyon's slump features only three goals in the past six matches as a nine-game winless run left them sixth, two points behind third-place Lille with six rounds remaining.
- The coach faulted Endrick’s movement and involvement, saying he stayed in his zone instead of finding space between the lines, and he pointed to Afonso Moreira as a player who is stepping up.
