Facing a long spell out, Rui Borges’ key man picks up award at Sporting | OneFootball

Geovany Quenda was elected the best young player of November in the Liga Portugal Betclic. The announcement highlighting the Sporting player came this Thursday, December 11, with 21.95% of the votes from the main coaches of the competition.

This time, the 'number 7' of the green and whites managed to surpass the competition with great skill. The 18-year-old beat Gustavo Sá (Famalicão) and Pablo (Gil Vicente), who garnered 19.51% and 18.70% of the votes, respectively.

On the official page of Liga Portugal, Quenda is highlighted for having participated in all three Sporting matches during the last month, "playing a decisive role against Santa Clara by taking the corner kick that led to the winning goal in the dying moments," it reads.

Despite this good news, the truth is that Geovany Quenda is not experiencing the best days. The Sporting winger suffered a trauma to the fifth metatarsal of his right foot in the match against Benfica and will be out of Rui Borges' team for two months.

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