Liverpool are set to welcome Jim Moxon’s replacement as club doctor after serving a January notice period, although he will be present at the club’s training ground in Dubai.
The Merseysiders had left the job vacant since the summer and the team were keen to find a quality addition to the back room staff.
“Liverpool’s new club doctor, Jonathan Power, will be in Dubai but will not assume full responsibilities until his notice period has expired in January,” James Pearce wrote for The Athletic.
“The former FA men’s team doctor has been working as a sports and exercise medicine consultant at the Center for Sports and Orthopedic Medicine in Bermuda.
“Sarah Lindsay and Bevin McCartan have been filling the void since Jim Moxon left in July.”
Jonathan Power arrives with a wealth of experience gained from his time as performance medicine doctor for the England men’s team, matchday doctor for Brentford and head of medical services for Leeds Rhinos.

There is an element of expectation that such an eventuality will occur in 2023 and it is understood that FSG is still holding talks in the midst of the World Cup in Qatar, although a clear favorite has yet to be identified.
