Problems for Geovany Quenda! Ex-Sporting steps aside at Chelsea | OneFootball

Geovany Quenda suffered a setback during his first pre-season with Chelsea. The 19-year-old Portuguese winger picked up a minor injury in the behind-closed-doors friendly against Bromley and is not expected to feature again during the training camp in Australia.

The former Sporting player is still expected to rejoin training next week during the Blues’ Asian tour. The team coached by Xabi Alonso is set to travel through Hong Kong, Malaysia or Indonesia.

Before the injury, Geovany Quenda had made a positive impression on Chelsea’s new manager in the warm-up matches against Crawley Town and Bromley. The youngster was looking to establish himself among the Spanish coach’s options after joining the London club on a permanent basis this summer.

Last season, Quenda remained on loan at Sporting after signing for Chelsea. The winger then spent nearly four months out with a fracture to the fifth metatarsal in his right foot, an injury that required surgery.

Emmanuel Emegha was less fortunate in the same friendly. The Dutch forward suffered a hamstring injury and will miss the entire pre-season tour, and is expected to remain sidelined for several weeks, with the aim of returning before the start of the season on 25 August.
