Ever since Endrick mentioned Charlton in an interview, fans on social media started calling him "Bobby". The trend carried over to the Madrid dressing room, where the former Palmeiras prodigy is addressed as Bobby instead of his real name. The Brazil fans even chanted Sir Bobby Charlton's name during a World Cup qualifier game last September.
WHAT JUDE BELLINGHAM SAID
Taking to his Instagram stories, Bellingham posted two photos of himself with Endrick and wrote: "Happy birthday my Bobby. I love you so much!"
This isn't the first time Bellingham has publicly referred to Endrick in such a manner, with the midfielder reposting the teenage forward's story in March with the words, "Be honest Bob."

It remains to be seen whether Endrick stays at the Santiago Bernabeu next season. The striker has been linked with loan moves to Marseille and PSV, although no developments have taken place yet. However, he reportedly doesn't favour a departure and is likely to remain in the Spanish capital.
On the other hand, Bellingham is set to remain on the sidelines until October, after undergoing a shoulder surgery earlier this month.
