Chelsea player set for first team role next season close to injury return after months out

Chelsea winger Geovany Quenda is now very close to returning from a serious injury that has kept him side-lined for some time.

The young rising star is set for a spot in Liam Rosenior’s first team next season, but he has been out recovering from a metatarsal injury for the last couple of months.

Chelsea correspondent for Football London, Bobby Vincent, has had the drop on this story and put his latest info out on the current Sporting player.

Vincent wrote:

‘Geovany Quenda is a matter of weeks away from returning to training following a metatarsal injury that has kept the soon-to-be Chelsea winger out of action for the past couple of months.

‘Dario Essugo has been in consistent dialogue with Quenda over the last month or so to help him settle in a new country. He is set to be part of the first-team picture next season, has also spoken with Liam Rosenior.’

Essugo of course is another Chelsea player who we have rarely seen anything of yet due to him also being out injured currently.

Liverpool must pay an initial fee worth £2.8million — which could rise by a further £4m — for the signing of Rio Ngumoha from Chelsea. This was decided at tribunal. This fee will certainly prove to be a bargain in years to come, I have no doubts.

Chelsea and Strasbourg have had a ridiculous 12 transfers between them in the last two windows. It’s all within the rules, but it’s making people uncomfortable.
