Geovany Quenda remains in London following his recovery plan after undergoing surgery due to a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, sustained during the match against E. Amadora. The 18-year-old player was operated on shortly before Christmas and is expected to return to Portugal in mid-March.
If his recovery continues to progress positively, he may be available for selection for the away match against Tondela, corresponding to the 26th round of the League, currently scheduled for the 15th of next month. Nevertheless, any prediction will depend on his physical assessment when he reports back to the Academy.
The player has been taking advantage of his stay in England to gradually integrate into his new environment. The young winger has been in contact with his future teammates, getting to know the dynamics of the London club and paying special attention to improving his English language skills.
During this period, he has had the close support of his father, with whom he lives in London, as well as the presence of Dário Essugo, a former teammate from the youth ranks. Alongside his physical recovery, the athlete has been closely observing the work of the Blues’ technical staff, led by Liam Rosenior.
In the current sports season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Geovany Quenda – valued at 45 million euros – has taken part in 22 matches for the Lions. In his 1,271 minutes on the pitch, the prodigy from Clube de Alvalade has already scored five goals and provided eight assists.
