Four months later, injured Sporting man close to squad return | OneFootball

Geovany Quenda’s return is getting closer and closer to turning into minutes on the pitch. After being sidelined for almost four months due to injury, the young winger is already in Lisbon and is preparing to return to training, being practically ready to become an option for Rui Borges.

The player, who was recovering in London under Chelsea’s supervision, returns without physical limitations and could even be called up for the match against Santa Clara. Even so, the most likely scenario points to his inclusion in the squad for the clash with Arsenal, where he is expected to make his true return to competition.

The injury, a fracture to the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, has kept him out since December, when he got injured in the derby against Benfica. Since then, he has undergone surgery and a recovery phase that included on-pitch work in recent weeks.

With his return, the 18-year-old winger intends to regain his place on the right flank, a position that has since been occupied by Geny Catamo. Determined to get back to his best level, the left-footer is also aiming for individual and collective goals.

In the current sporting season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Geovany Quenda - valued at €42 million - has taken part in 22 matches for the Lions.
