CHELSEA have hired Dave Grohl’s personal physio Freddie Murray, according to reports.
The Blues have been on the lookout for a new medical team after sacking former head physio Thierry Laurent and medical director Dr Pablo Biosca last month.

Murray and his clinic have already begun work with Chelsea
Chelsea will work with Murray and his clinic Remedy on a consultancy basis and they will advise the club on its medical team and structures, report the Daily Mail.
In fact, Remedy have reportedly already begun to work with Chelsea stars and have been helping out the likes of N’Golo Kante, Wesley Fofana and the other Blues players currently out injured.
Murray, 40, is a former footballer turned physio and has helped out some big stars in and out of the game.
After retiring aged 28 he trained as a physiotherapist and worked for the QPR academy under Harry Redknapp.
He later set up his own clinic Remedy where he caught the eye of Foo Fighters frontman Grohl.
The rockstar called upon Murray’s services to help him recover from a broken leg he suffered when he fell off stage in Stockholm, Sweden, during his 2015 World Tour.
Grohl joked that the Scot “tortured” him back to health but he invited Murray to a gig in Dublin in 2019 and even introduced the former Blackburn player on stage.
He also dedicated a song to Murray who has helped other stars including former Newcastle winger Florian Thauvin.

Murray also played for Cambridge, Northampton and Luton and has had a change of heart since 2020, when he said he had turned down Prem clubs to concentrate on his work with Remedy.
He said: “I had offers from Premier League clubs to go in as physio over the last few years but there is no job that would bring me back there.
“The work I do now [with Remedy] is the way I want to work with a client, if that’s an athlete or anyone, we treat them the way they should be treated.”
