Nottingham Forest have appointed former Chelsea fitness specialist Adam Burrows, according to reports.
The move is said to be an attempt to combat the injury issues Steve Cooper's team faced last season. Forest had 37 injuries in 2022/23, with only Chelsea and Liverpool having more, according to the Premier Injuries website.
The Athletic claims the Reds have appointed Burrows in a bid to avoid their high level of injuries.
He was part of the Chelsea backroom team under Thomas Tuchel, having arrived at Stamford Bridge under Frank Lampard in 2019.

The report says he has talked in the past about being “predominantly in the gym, working on strength, power and areas of injury risk” to “develop strong and robust players”.
It adds that he has spent the last year running a strength and conditioning programme at Nottingham Trent University after leaving Chelsea at the end of the 2021-22 season.
The Reds will be playing a second successive campaign in the top flight after avoiding relegation with a game to spare in 2022/23. Steve Cooper's side return to action away at Arsenal on August 12 when the new season begins.
