Chelsea players shocked as medical chief Paco Biosca leaves after 11 years

Chelsea have lost another long-term member of staff.

Medical chief Paco Biosca leaves Chelsea after 11 years at the club.

Biosca leaves at the end of a tumultuous week which saw commercial director Damian Willoughby sacked, as well as the exit of director of communications Steve Atkins.

Biosca arrived in 2011 but now leaves in a decision that is reported by the Telegraph as coming as a 'shock' to players who have worked with the 69-year-old for several years.

First-team doctor Dimitrios Kalogiannidis will take over temporarily until a permanent replacement is found.
