Sporting starlet bounces back from tough spell, enters new chapter | OneFootball

Geovany Quenda shared the first image of his recovery after undergoing surgery last Monday, December 22. Sporting’s number 7 had surgery for a fracture in the fifth metatarsal of his right foot and turned to social media to reassure the fans.

Through his Instagram stories, the young Portuguese international posted a photo with his family and a friend, already after the surgery in question. Quenda is currently in London and is only expected to return to competition in March.

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

The officials at the Alvalade club believe that Rui Borges’ protégé will only return to competitive matches in several weeks, which means missing many games for the green and white club in the fight for the championship title that has eluded Sporting since 1952/53.

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