Sporting winger Geovany Quenda has been carrying out much of his recovery from a fractured metatarsal at Chelsea's training ground. The 18‑year‑old has been given access to Chelsea's world‑class facilities at Cobham and the chance to familiarise himself with his future club ahead of his summer move. Quenda hopes to return to the pitch in March, having sustained the injury in early December during a match against Benfica. The decision to have Quenda continue his rehabilitation at Cobham is not always the case, with fellow future summer signings Emanuel Emegha, at Strasbourg, and Dastan Satpaev, at FC Kairat, both currently injured but completing their recovery away from Chelsea. Chelsea agreed a £40m pre‑contract to sign Quenda in July 2026, finalised in March last year.
