Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly has made a significant U-turn by re-hiring club physio Jose Calvarro after he was let go last September. The decision came alongside several other mass changes made by Boehly and Clearlake Capital following their completed take over of the club in the summer, but Boehly has now re-hired the experienced Spaniard.
According to the Evening Standard, the decision to bring him back was following a plea from players with some feeling as though the upheaval in the medical department was partly to blame for an injury crisis that hit the squad before the World Cup.
Along with Calvarro's exit, long-serving medical chiefs Thierry Laurent and Paco Biosca also departed the club. In the time between being brought back in at Cobham, Calvarro worked at Serie B side Como where former Blues midfielder Cesc Fabregas currently plays his football.
