Chelsea have been forced into a climbdown, after re-hiring a physio that left last year following a plea from players to bring him back.
Jose Calvarro left in September after more than six years at Stamford Bridge as part of an overhaul of backroom staff by new owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital. The well-respected Spaniard had been working at Chelsea since 2016 and departed along with long-serving medical chiefs Thierry Laurent and Paco Biosca.
