Chelsea doctor hasn't retuned to work after controversy with Mourinho
Eva Carneiro, the Chelsea doctor who was banned from the match-day bench and branded as someone who "knew nothing about football" has not retuned to work.
Her absence, now into its fourth week since the incident happened on Aug 8 in Chelsea's opening Premier League game against Swansea City, has fuelled growing speculation that she is unlikely to return.
It has been reported that she has chosen to seek the help of a professional employment lawyer's firm 'Mischon de Reya' who will take the case further.
Mourinho’s anger was picked up by the television cameras and afterwards he accused the pair of failing to “understand the game”.
It subsequently emerged that not only had referee Michael Oliver twice gestured for the medical staff to come on but also that he had also checked with Hazard that he wanted to receive treatment. This led to further criticism of Mourinho from medical professionals.
Fifa’s medical committee will discuss the treatment of Carneiro and Fearn at it meeting on Sept 11. The committee is expected to make clear its support of team doctors who act in the best interest of players.
