Football.London It is clear that Arsenal dealt a major blow when the club’s head of physiotherapy, Chris Morgan, left the club to move to Premier League champion Liverpool.
Morgan spent a decade in Liverpool before leaving the club in 2016 and joining the Arsenal medical team in 2018 after working at FA, LA Galaxy and Crystal Palace.
The move will not come immediately, but when the 2019/20 campaign ends, he will take the place of the Red Team physiotherapist, Christopher Rohrbeck, in the medical team. Rohrbeck should return to Germany for family reasons, as The Athletic reported for the first time.

Morgan’s move will be a disappointment for the Gunners after they were successful in March against Liverpool’s progress as head of sports medicine, Dr. Gary O’Driscoll. As revealed by Football.London His decision was made for personal and professional reasons, as he is curious what Mikel Arteta can do with the team.
In May, the Gunners made another positive step toward their medical team by officially naming Florence Newton the first team doctor. As reported by Football.London She had worked with the team since last summer’s Gunners tour of the United States.

Arsenal is said to have started looking for Morgan’s replacement by the Parisian Saint-Germain physio Bruno Mazziotti as a possible target.
On June 4, L’Equipe reported that the Brazilian was available since he would leave the French champions after performance manager Martin Buchheit was fired.
Mazziotti also worked with Real Madrid, AC Milan and Shandong Luneng and the Iranian national team at the 2014 World Cup. However, The Athletic also reported that he had “closely linked” to Arsenal’s technical director Edu at Corinthians and the Brazilian national team.
