I think the broad question is whether WBA had an agreement with its players to pay their medical bills if they went to an approved (agreed on?) surgeon or an agreement with the doctor to pay him for treating the players. I prefer the former answer in the absence of something specific establishing the latter.

I do not understand why there was not a perfectly good contract in the WBA case. Surely the doctor was not providing his services free and I bet that the club and not the player picked up the bill. It was surely an implied term of this contract that the doctor would display ordinary care and skill. If the result of the doctor's breach of contract was that a player could not play for longer than would otherwise be the case there is surely some financial loss.
