However, Endler vehemently denied these assertions. ”That’s a lie,” she declared.”He hasn’t contacted me.”

Endler, widely regarded as one of the world’s best goalkeepers, has been a key figure for the Chilean women’s team for many years. Her absence from recent squads has been keenly felt, and her potential return would be a major boost for the team.
However, the current controversy surrounding Mena’s comments may make Endler’s decision even more tough. It remains to be seen whether she will ultimately choose to return to the national team under the current circumstances.
A recent exchange between Chilean women’s national team coach Luis Mena and star goalkeeper Christiane endler has ignited a firestorm of controversy. The debate began when Mena suggested that Endler, who left the team in 2021, could potentially return.
“I said it from the moment we talked with Tiane, that the doors of the national team were always going to be open for her,” Mena stated, following Endler’s nomination for The Best FIFA Women’s Goalkeeper award. “I think she still has a lot to deliver for what comes later.”

Endler,though,swiftly refuted Mena’s claims,asserting that she has not been contacted by the coach regarding a return. “No, Lucho has never called me. Because he hasn’t called me,he has my number and he has never called me,” she told La Tercera.
The lyon goalkeeper, who plays in France’s top division, made it clear that her time with the Chilean national team is over, at least for now. ”At the moment yes. One can never say never, least of all to the National Team, but at the moment no,” she concluded.
Looking ahead, Endler emphasized her commitment to her club career. “I still have three years left on my contract at Lyon, I’m still in Europe and I hope that this year we achieve all the objectives we set for ourselves, which is always winning everything.”
