Mourinho under fire over Blues鈥 doctor treatment
Print Edition
CHELSEA manager Jose Mourinho found himself in the eye of a storm yesterday as criticism mounted over reports he has sidelined the Premier League champion’s team doctor Eva Carneiro.
British media reports claim Carneiro will no longer attend Chelsea’s matches or training sessions after Mourinho lambasted her and physiotherapist Jon Fearn for running onto the pitch to treat Eden Hazard during the latter stages of last weekend’s 2-2 draw at home to Swansea City.
The outspoken Mourinho, who said that Carneiro and Fearn had been “impulsive and naive”, has received widespread criticism, with Liverpool’s former head of sports medicine Peter Brukner branding his behavior “absolutely appalling”.
In a statement yesterday, the Premier League Doctors’ Group described Carneiro’s reported demotion as “unjust in the extreme”.
It added: “In the publicized incident in last Saturday’s game against Swansea, the Chelsea medical staff were clearly summoned onto the field of play by the match referee to attend to a player.
“A refusal to run onto the pitch would have breached the duty of care required of the medical team to their patient.
“It is a huge concern that Dr Carneiro has been subjected to unprecedented media scrutiny and a change in her professional role, merely because she adhered to her code of professional conduct and did her job properly.”
Football Association director and former England women’s footballer Kelly Simmons, meanwhile, expressed hope that the row would not deter women from working in football.
“That’s obviously an issue for Chelsea,” she said.
