Jose Mourinho slammed for ‘appalling’ behaviour

Jose Mourinho’s behaviour towards Chelsea first-team doctor Eva Carneiro has been “absolutely appalling”, according to leading sports physician Peter Brukner.

Towards the end of Saturday’s 2-2 draw at home to Swansea, the reigning champions were temporarily reduced to nine men as Eden Hazard had to leave the field following treatment.

Chelsea boss Mourinho was visibly infuriated to see physio Jon Fearn and doctor Carneiro run on to the field to give him that treatment, telling the media afterwards that their “impulsive and naive” decision showed they did not “understand the game”.
