Chelsea head physio ruthlessly axed over 'short zoom call' after 17 years with club

Chelsea's upheaval under owner Todd Boehly has continued with the sacking of long-serving head physio Thierry Laurent.

Laurent had been with the club for 17 years, joining early on in Roman Abramovich's tenure as owner, and was also physio for the French national side when they won the World Cup in 1998. However, the 57-year-old has reportedly been dismissed over zoom after more than a decade and a half of service.

It is just the latest departure of the Boehly era, with the current owner still yet to bring up six months at the helm. While manager Thomas Tuchel was one of the highest-profile sacking s, others have left of their own volition including Petr Cech and Marina Granovskaia.
