The 18-year-old suffered a severe injury during Sporting CP's latest derby clash against Benfica. According to A Bola, Quenda will have to undergo surgery on a fracture to the fifth metatarsal of his right foot and it was initially scheduled for this week in England, however, due to bureaucratic issues, his trip had to be postponed and the player will now go under the knife next Monday.
Quenda is expected to remain sidelined for at least two months after the surgery and while it is taking place in England, overseen by the Blues, his recovery process will continue under Sporting's vigilance in Lisbon. The Blues, though, will continue to monitor his recovery and progress.
