Liverpool Boost Medical Department With Five New Arrivals

Liverpool's injured stars will receive additional expert treatment next season after five new arrivals were welcomed at its Sports Science and Sports Medicine department.

The club's website has announced that two physiotherapists from the Australian 'Socceroo' national team, Darren Burgess and Phil Coles, have joined newly appointed Head of Sports Medicine and Science Dr. Peter Brukner at the Melwood training complex.

Dr. Zaf Iqubal has also been poached from Tottenham Hotspur, while Jordan Milsom has joined the backroom team as sports scientist. The club will also be working with John Moores University through sports science consultant Barry Drust.

The new recruits have been welcomed to the club by manager Roy Hodgson and will be faced with the immediate task of getting injured superstar striker Fernando Torres back into shape after his abductor injury that was picked up in the final seconds of the World Cup 2010 final.
