Dr Mark Gillett claims England’s medical staff paid “little regard” to the club’s requests about Livermore’s workload in the last international break. We were a little bit upset about how little regard they paid to our dataThe former Tottenham Hotspur and Hull City midfielder won an international recall in March and started the 1-0 friendly defeat in Germany. Gillett claims that the FA’s staff failed to act on data provided by the club on Livermore’s workload before games and that the increased intensity of his build-up affected the player’s output. The criticism comes after The Times revealed how Manchester United had refused to share medical data with the FA over fears of leaks to their rivals.
