Liverpool FC have parted company with first-team doctor Zaf Iqbal.
 
The ECHO understands his four-and-a-half year spell with the Anfield club came to an end on Wednesday.
 
Reds Academy doctor Andy Massey has taken on the additional duties on a temporary basis. The reasons for Dr Iqbal's exit are unclear.
 
Melwood-based Dr Iqbal was responsible for the medical treatment of all players. He would put prospective new signings through their medicals and sit on the bench on matchdays.
 
He also assisted the club's medical and sport science teams in devising daily fitness programmes for each player.
 
He worked for Leyton Orient and England's youth teams before joining Tottenham where he was promoted to the role of first-team doctor in 2008.
 
Dr Iqbal made the move to Liverpool in the summer of 2010.
 
“I have supported Liverpool ever since the mid-1980s and the opportunity to work with the excellent medical team set up here was an opportunity just too good to turn down,” he said.
