Geovany Quenda set for early switch from Sporting to Chelsea | OneFootball

Despite initial reports that Geovany Quenda would undergo surgery this Tuesday, December 16, it is now known that the procedure will only take place the following day, Wednesday. Even so, the Sporting player’s surgery will happen in London, as was initially reported.

The 18-year-old star is dealing with an injury to the fifth metatarsal of his right foot, sustained in the derby against Benfica and, for now, he is preparing to travel to the United Kingdom, accompanied by a representative from the Alvalade Club, and will be received by the ‘blues’ entourage as soon as he sets foot on English soil.

Therefore, it is now known that the procedure will take place on Wednesday, December 17, and it will be led by Chelsea’s medical team—the club that signed Geovany Quenda for 52 million euros. As soon as he is discharged, the ‘number 7’ of the lions will return to Portugal, where he will undergo a recovery period of about two months.

It is worth noting that, although the injury worsened due to a knock during the Benfica – Sporting match, the player had already experienced issues before that, during Sporting’s home game against Estrela da Amadora. However, since he finished the derby in pain, the diagnosis was easier to determine.

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