Chelsea's Geovany Quenda: Makes first start vs. Juventus

Rotowire ·

Quenda makes his first start for Chelsea in Wednesday's friendly against Juventus, the club announced.

Analysis:

Quenda's pace, dribbling ability and end product from wide positions have made him one of the club's most exciting young signings, and this start gives him a real opportunity to show what he can offer amid stiff competition for wing spots. He had missed the Australian leg of the club's preseason tour with a minor injury after impressing coach Xabi Alonso in the opening friendlies. His role, whether as a winger in a back four or a wing back in a back three, will likely hinge on which system Alonso settles on for the new season. Quenda is expected to continue building toward a regular role as preseason progresses.
