Geovany Quenda is in the final stage of recovering from a fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot and continues to follow the rehabilitation process in London before returning to Sporting, a return date that has once again been postponed in recent days.

The young Portuguese U21 international, aged 18, has already overcome the most delicate part of the injury and is now focused on regaining the muscle mass lost during the period of inactivity. The medical team's goal is for the player to return to the physical levels he had before the break by the end of this month.

Only after reaching these parameters will he receive authorization from Chelsea — the English club that has already secured his signing — to return to Lisbon, rejoin Rui Borges' squad, and complete the remainder of the season.

Quenda was set to travel to Portugal at the end of February, as this final stage of recovery could have taken place at Sporting's Academy. However, Chelsea's management chose to keep the process at the London club's training center in Cobham until the end, in order to closely monitor the player's progress.
