Geovany Quenda injury update: Sporting star limps off in latest match | OneFootball

Geovany Quenda has no major issues, after causing a scare in the last match for Portugal’s Under-21 national team. The young player was one of Sporting’s standout performers last season, when the Lions claimed back-to-back championships, but he has had fewer minutes on the pitch this season.

Unlike what has happened at Sporting, Geovany Quenda was in the starting lineup for the Portuguese Under-21 team’s match against Azerbaijan, which ended in a 5-0 thrashing for the team in red and green at the end of 90 minutes, in the second round of Group B of the European Championship qualifying stage.

The green-and-white winger even scored a beautiful goal, after a great ball control in the opponent’s box. However, he set off alarm bells—especially at Sporting—when he was forced to leave the pitch, clearly struggling physically, particularly with his left leg, which appeared to be weakened.

The green-and-white staff feared the worst, especially given the wave of injuries that hit Alvalade last season. However, doubts were quickly dispelled: Geovany Quenda’s situation is not cause for alarm, as it appears to be just some muscle soreness, also due to the fact that we are at the start of the season.

In fact, that Portugal vs. Azerbaijan match was not only the first time Geovany Quenda played so many minutes, but also his debut as a starter in 2025/26. It’s worth noting that, at Sporting, the Portuguese winger seems to have lost his place in the starting eleven to Geny Catamo, who has been Rui Borges’ choice for the right side of the green-and-white attack.
