Arsenal have added two new academy physiotherapists to their medical set-up ahead of the 2026-27 campaign.
While neither appointment is expected to impact the first-team, it follows a raft of backroom changes made at the club this summer.
Sanchez Davis, who has also worked for Crouch End Clinic in north London, announced via Instagram that he is embarking on a new chapter with the Gunners.
He posted: “NEW CHAPTER. Thrilled to announce that I’ve joined @officialarsenalacademy as an Academy Physiotherapist! Proud to be part of The Culture Club — The Champions of England — and excited for what’s ahead in this next step of my football physiotherapy career. We thank Jah. Grateful for the opportunity and ready to get to work.”
Davis also posted an image in Arsenal training gear at the club's London Colney training base. He is not the only new arrival, either.

Omar Mahgoub has also followed suit and has experience with fellow Premier League side Brentford in the capital.
He also confirmed his new venture via Instagram, writing: "I’m delighted to announce that I’ve joined Arsenal FC as an Academy Physiotherapist (Part-Time).
"Proud to be part of the club, its culture, and the Arsenal way. I’m excited to work alongside an incredible team as I continue to develop my career in sports physiotherapy. Looking forward to the journey ahead."
Arsenal have made a number of changes to their medical and backroom staff at senior level ahead of the new season.
New Head of Performance Antonio Gomez has been working with the squad in recent weeks, most notably in Girona, after teaming up with Mikel Arteta's coaching staff.
He said in a public statement: "I am thrilled to begin a new professional chapter as Head of Performance at Arsenal Football Club.

"I want to thank all the clubs, colleagues, players, and professionals with whom I have shared my journey so far. Every experience has been instrumental in reaching this moment.
"A new challenge begins at one of the most important clubs in the football world. Really looking forward to work and keep moving forward."
