Rui Borges facing a lingering headache at Sporting | OneFootball

Geovany Quenda underwent a change of plans regarding his surgical intervention. The player was supposed to head to London this Tuesday, December 16, to undergo surgery the following day, but this will no longer happen due to bureaucratic issues.

The information is being reported by the newspaper Record, which reveals that now the player will only be treated for his fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot next week. As such, the ‘number 7’ will only travel to the United Kingdom next Sunday and will undergo surgery on Monday, December 22.

The same source adds that Quenda only learned of this information hours before the flight he had already scheduled, at a time when he was already prepared to head to London. This situation delays the start of the winger’s recovery, whose absence is expected to last two months.

It is worth remembering that the player’s surgery will be handled by Chelsea, who bought Geovany Quenda from Sporting for around 52 million euros. After the surgery, the winger will recover at the Cristiano Ronaldo Academy, with his recovery being supervised by the Lions.

In the current sports season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Geovany Quenda – valued at 45 million euros – has played in 22 matches for the Lions. In his 1,271 minutes on the field, the Club de Alvalade prodigy has already scored five goals and provided eight assists.
