Fired Dr. Eva Carneiro set to return to struggling Chelsea

Former Chelsea team Dr. Eva Carneiro is set to return to Stamford Bridge before the end of the season if she wins her legal dispute with the club in January.

According to reports on Metro, Carneiro has filed for constructive dismissal against Chelsea and club manager Jose Mourinho before the employment tribunal.

The case will be heard in January.

Sky Sports reports that Carneiro is hoping to return to Chelsea and resume her role as the first team doctor is she wins the case.

Doctor Carneiro and physio John Fearn had a fall out with Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho for legitimately entering the field to treat injured Eden Hazard during the stoppage time of their match against Swansea when they were both tied at 2-2.

The incident raised a storm in Chelsea’s camp with most of the staff accusing Mourinho of indecent treatment of Eva Carneiro during opening match of the Barclays Premier League.

It is said that the partner of Chelsea owner Roman Abramovic, Dash Zhukova, along with wives and partners of the players felt Mourinho was heavy-handed and disrespectful to the doctor.

In a ruling, the Football Association ruled that Jose Mourinho will not be charged for allegedly making offensive utterances directed to doctor Carneiro, a ruling that elicited protest from Women FA and Doctor Carneiro.

“I was surprised to learn that the FA was allegedly investigating the incident of August 8 via the press. I was at no stage requested by the FA to make a statement,” said Carneiro.

“I wonder whether this might be the only formal investigation in this country where the evidence of the individuals involved in the incident was not considered relevant. Choosing to ignore some of the evidence will surely influence the outcome of the findings.”

The 42-year-old had received an offer from Championship side Charlton Athletic after the conclusion of her legal dispute against The Blues.

The Championship side want Carneiro to work with first team physio Erol Umut and club doctor John Fraser.
