Sporting injury absentee finally fit again, posts on social media | OneFootball

Geovany Quenda returned to Lisbon after around three months in London, where he followed a strict recovery plan at Chelsea’s facilities. Chelsea bought his rights from Sporting for more than €50 million, while keeping him on loan at the Lions until the end of the season.

The 18-year-old winger has completed his recovery from surgery to the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, an injury he suffered on December 5, 2025, in the derby against Benfica (1-1) at the Estádio da Luz. Since then, the ‘number 7’ had been out of competition.

Geovany Quenda arrived at Humberto Delgado Airport in the early evening and marked his return with a post on social media: “There’s no place like home,” he wrote, accompanying the message with a photograph.

Now fully recovered, the youngster is preparing to once again become one of Rui Borges’ options. His reintegration into the first-team squad’s work is scheduled for Tuesday, coinciding with the squad’s return to training. In the short term, the winger’s goal is to regain his place on the right flank, a position occupied by Geny Catamo during his absence.

In the current season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Geovany Quenda — valued at €42 million — has played 22 matches for the Lions.
