'I was asked to come' - Liverpool quietly brought in key physician to 'reduce risk of injury'

Liverpool's head of osteopathy says the decision to join the club last summer was a no-brainer, describing working for the club as "the highest you can get".

Physician Frigyes Vanden Auweele was taken on in July and installed as the club's head of osteopathy, with Liverpool detailing his role as someone who was brought in to "enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury" within Jurgen Klopp's squad.

The Belgian moved to Anfield on the back of work at football club Oud-Heverlee Leuven, cycling team Trek-Segafredo and volleyball club VHL, according to Liverpoolfc.com.
