Player Preparing for Major Transfer to Chelsea – Focusing on English and London Life Chelsea are actively preparing Geovany Quenda for his move to England, with the 18-year-old winger now adjusting to life in London while still officially under Sporting. Quenda is expected to return to Lisbon at the end of March, but his recent activities show that Chelsea's influence is already making an impact before the summer transfer window. As previously reported, the Premier League club has kept Quenda at their training base in Cobham to continue his recovery and start adapting him to his new environment. This includes learning English and becoming familiar with the city where he will eventually be based. Quenda has been recovering from a fractured fifth metatarsal, an injury he suffered in late November. The injury required surgery in London, just before Christmas, after Chelsea had already agreed to a £43.5m (€50.7m) transfer deal for the player. His rehabilitation has been divided into phases, as detailed by the Portuguese newspaper Record. Initially, he focused on mobility in the affected foot, followed by stabilization exercises, strength training, and a gradual return to playing. Currently in the final stage of his recovery, Chelsea has decided to keep him in England rather than sending him back to Sporting earlier. In recent days, Quenda has been training in the afternoons at Cobham with a physiotherapist. Notably, the same specialist is also working with another Chelsea player on loan, Caleb Wiley. Outside of training, Quenda has started to build his new routine. According to Record, he spends mornings studying English and is getting to know London in preparation for his permanent move. Chelsea is also supporting his off-field setup, with meals provided by the club and early commercial activities, including work with Nike.#london #chelsea #sporting #geovany_quenda #cobham
