Chelsea forced to re-hire sacked backroom staff member Jose Calvarro after request from players



Chelsea have been forced to re-hire sacked medical staff member Jose Calvarro just a few months after parting ways with him in September.

As per the Evening Standard, the Blues have re-hired him after a request from the players. Calvarro, along with medical chiefs Thierry Laurent and Paco Biosca, were let go by the west London giants when Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital took over the club.It was a part of a backroom purge, possibly to brand the club with the American owners' identity. Calvarro, who was with Chelsea from 2016 until September of last year, has an excellent understanding of how the club operates.

Chelsea players were believed to be worried about the club’s medical department and injury issues as early as January this year. 

This seems like a sane move. Good move Our injury problems are there for all to see. We have suffered especially with the fitness issues of our defenders. Marc Cucurella, Reece James, Mason Mount, Kai Havertz and Kalidou Koulibaly are currently sidelined with injuries.

Boehly and co. sacked backroom members at will last year after buying the club. The changes were visible from top to bottom, with Thomas Tuchel and Graham Potter among those who have been sacked.

Hopefully, Calvarro’s return to SW6 will do us some good. He was here when we won the Premier League with Antonio Conte and the UEFA Champions League under Tuchel.

Inter have made the asking price clear for wingback Denzel Dumfries during the summer transfer window clear, with incoming Chelsea coach eyeing up a move for the Dutch World Cup star.

This according to Italian news outlet Repubblica.it, who report that the 27-year-old is a major target for the Argentine who is expected to take over at Stamford Bridge, and that the Nerazzurri would expect a fee of at least €40 million for his signature. Dumfries’s future at Inter has looked uncertain for some time now, with the 26-year-old former PSV man having been strongly linked as a possible sale during the summer transfer window should the Nerazzurri need to bring in cash from the market. The likes of Chelsea and Manchester United have been reported to be interested, whilst Barcelona have reportedly also enquired about the Dutchman for the summer transfer window. However, in March Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Dumfries is no longer a major target for Chelsea as he had been in the past. The situation at Stamford Bridge has been in flux, however, with Graham Potter removed as head coach just a few months after taking over, replaced with Frank Lampard on an interim basis.

Journalist Simon Phillips has suggested that Chelsea fans are losing their patience with £250k-a-week star.

According to journalist Simon Phillips, Chelsea supporters are "losing their patience" with Joao Felix, according to GIVEMESPORT. When he first joined the team, the 23-year-old appeared to be an exciting signing, but he is having trouble scoring goals. Joao Felix: Chelsea news Felix, who reportedly makes £250,000 per week at Chelsea, transferred there on loan from Atletico Madrid of Spain during the January transfer window. It's been a difficult period for the Portuguese international, with the Blues not playing a system which suits the role he's predominantly played in his career. As per Transfermarkt, Felix has mostly played as a second striker during his time at Benfica and Atletico, but he's mainly been used off the left-hand side at Chelsea. Despite his difficult start to life at Stamford Bridge, it appears that both Felix and Chelsea want to continue together beyond this season. Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano recently confirmed this news but has st...

Chelsea will express their interest in signing Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana during their upcoming meeting with Inter Milan over Romelu Lukaku’s future, according to Evening Standard.

The newspaper claims Blues’ officials will travel to Italy next week to discuss the future of Lukaku, who is due to return to Chelsea in the summer when his loan deal expires at the end of the season.  The Belgium striker moved to Inter on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea last summer and has impressed at the San Siro Stadium, scoring nine goals and registering three assists in 26 appearances across all competitions.  The West Londoners are planning a summer clear-out in order to meet the Financial Fair Play requirements after spending £323m in the winter transfer window on eight new players as well as splashing out close to £300m last summer. However, bringing in a shot-stopper could be on the cards as they look to bolster their squad for next season. Edouard Mendy is  expected to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the campaign after losing his first team place.
