Eva Carneiro has backing of FIFA medical chief in case against Chelsea

“She is very happy with the global support of the medical world in football.”

Former Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro has been promised the full backing of FIFA’s medical chief in her legal case against the Premier League club.

Carneiro is taking action against the club for constructive dismissal and an individual action against Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho for victimisation and discrimination. She was dropped from first-team duties after Mourinho criticised her for going onto the pitch to treat a player on the opening day of the season.
