Quenda a worry, Sporting starlet out longer than expected | OneFootball

Geovany Quenda underwent surgery this Monday afternoon in London to treat the fracture he suffered in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot during the game against Benfica at the beginning of the month. The operation took place in the English capital, where the player was already present to receive treatment. The footballer will only return in March.

The injury had sidelined the 18-year-old player, and the surgical procedure aimed to correct this physical issue to allow him to play again in the future. After the intervention, he will now focus on the recovery phase in the best possible way.

The recovery process will be carried out jointly by the medical department of Sporting, the club where he is on loan, and Chelsea, the English club that purchased his pass at the end of last season and is closely monitoring the young talent's recovery.

The officials at Clube de Alvalade believe that Rui Borges' protégé is expected to return to competitive matches in several weeks, which implies missing many games for the green and white emblem in the fight for the championship that has eluded Sporting since 1952/53.

In the current sporting season, wearing the Sporting jersey, Geovany Quenda - valued at 45 million euros - has participated in 22 matches for the lions. In 1,271 minutes on the field, the prodigy of Clube de Alvalade has already scored five goals and provided eight assists.
