Three Real Madrid fringe stars who Mourinho believes will be important this season – report

Real Madrid's manager Jose Mourinho has expressed confidence in three fringe players who have shown promising performances this season, according to a recent report. Endrick, Eduardo Camavinga, and Bernardo Silva, who started the season with limited first-team involvement, are now seen as important assets for Mourinho's plans. Endrick's last-minute substitution against Roma showcased his potential as a right-winger, while Bernardo's increased prominence led to a starting role against Sevilla.

Camavinga's partnership with Bernardo at RB Leipzig highlighted his role as a key player, as he off-balled to set up Kylian Mbappe for the winning goal. Following the Barcelona victory, Mourinho praised Camavinga for his energy and ball-playing ability, stating that the young player made him forget about other players like Arda and Tchouameni.

Both Camavinga and Bernardo are expected to receive more playing time as Mourinho aims to rotate his squad and keep everyone fresh and fit. Additionally, Endrick could be trusted at right-back, and Fede Valverde now plays there. With a bloated squad and demanding fixtures, Mourinho's ability to manage rotation and minute allocation for these players will be crucial in helping Real Madrid compete for major trophies.
