Chelsea reportedly have two separate plans for new signing Geovany Quenda when he officially joins the club this summer.
Quenda is now currently at Cobham anyway as he recovers from a long term injury. But he is still due to see the season out at his club Sporting, even though the deal to Chelsea is all done. Only it will be made official in the summer.

The young winger has been continuing his recovery from a metatarsal injury back amongst Chelsea’s facilities, and apparently he has been using his time in England wisely.

The BBC report that the 18-year-old is using the time to improve his English and complete various bureaucratic tasks, including filling in documents and finding a new house.
As well as this, there are two plans for Quenda when he does finally arrive as a Chelsea player at the end of this season.
He has also had opportunities to meet Chelsea players and members of staff, with two plans already in place – one for if he makes Portugal’s squad in the summer and another if he does not – before his first campaign at Stamford Bridge next season.
I’m surprised that he’s not back at Sporting already, with not much of the season left to play now. Is it even going to be worth him going back?

Hato might be needed for another important game this week – it all depends on what the physiossay about Marc Cucurella.
