Liverpool's head of fitness and conditioning Dr Ryland Morgans is set to leave his role after nearly four years.
The Anfield club released a statement indicating that Morgans, who was recruited by former boss Brendan Rodgers in 2012, wants to pursue new challenges.
Morgans, who continued in his role under Jurgen Klopp, also works as Wales' head of performance, with Chris Coleman set to lead the side to Euro 2016 in France this summer.

"This has been an extremely difficult decision to reach, but I feel now is the right time to move on and pursue a new challenge," Morgans told Liverpool's official website.
"I will always be grateful to Brendan Rodgers for giving me the opportunity to work at the highest club level of the game alongside some of the biggest figures in the industry.
"There have been some amazing experiences along the way and to serve a club of this stature is an honour and a privilege I will never forget. However, professionally, it is time to seek a new challenge.
"Finally, I would like to thank the club and Ian Ayre for their support during my time and wish Jurgen Klopp, the staff at Melwood and the supporters all the best for the future and every success for the remainder of the season."
Klopp added: "Ryland is a fantastic professional and a really good guy. Wherever he works next, they will be extremely fortunate to have someone of his capabilities. We all respect his decision and thank him for the work he has done, not just since we arrived, but before that also."
