Rui Borges injury boost, he’s fit for Sporting v Santa Clara | OneFootball

Sporting are approaching a demanding period of the season, with decisive matches in several competitions, but Rui Borges has received some good news. Geovany Quenda has already returned to Portugal and is expected to be available after the international break.

The winger had been sidelined since the match against Benfica at the Luz, where he came on in the 60th minute and suffered a fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot. Since then, he has been unavailable and travelled to London, where he underwent treatment with Chelsea’s medical department.

According to the newspaper O Jogo, the young Portugal international could already be an option against Santa Clara, although Rui Borges is expected to manage him carefully. The green light from the medical reports means the winger can be considered for the demanding run of matches Sporting will face during April.

Geovany Quenda is already a player of the English club, though he remains on loan at Sporting. The transfer brought in around €50.78 million for the Lions, who also secured the stay of the ‘number 7’ for one more season.

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