Todd Boehly has re-hired popular Chelsea physio Jose Calvarro after members of Frank Lampard 's squad lobbied for his return.
Calvarro, 43, left Stamford Bridge last September after more than six years working at the club as part of an overhaul orchestrated by co-owner Boehly's new regime. But now the Chelsea hierarchy have U-turned on their decision after the Spanish medic went to join Italian Serie B side Como, where former Blues captain Dennis Wise is president and ex-player Cesc Fabregas now plies his trade.
The Evening Standard report that a host of Chelsea players asked the club to bring Calvarro back, feeling that his departure was a reason behind the Blues' injury crisis which played former manager Graham Potter either side of the World Cup. But since the 43-year-old was already contracted to on-the-rise club Como, Chelsea could only get him to work one day a week on a consultancy basis, flying to London every Sunday.
