After Real Madrid's 3-2 Champions League win over AEK Athens, manager José Mourinho admitted his frustration over the substitutes who are getting little playing time. Endrick, the 20-year-old Brazilian forward who returned from a loan spell at Lyon with eight goals and eight assists in 21 games, is rarely able to force his way into the starting line-up. "It frustrates me for all those who are not playing because everyone deserves to play," Mourinho conceded. "I think it's dramatic for a full-back, after playing an hour against someone of quality, to then face Endrick; it's truly complicated," he added. "There are many coaches who must look at me with a lot of healthy envy because, when I have problems, I look at the bench and have so many options," the Portuguese coach stressed. The door is closed. Arsenal and Aston Villa are trying to take the player on loan in January, but Mourinho has made it clear he will not sanction a move.
