touchline row with the Portuguese during a game
against Swansea and he may now appear at an
employment tribunal
Eva Carneiro has taken individual legal action against Jose
Mourinho following her exit from Chelsea.
The former physiotherapist left the Blues on September 22
after she and colleague Jon Fearn were criticised by
Mourinho for being “impulsive and naïve”, having entered the
field of play to treat Eden Hazard during a 2-2 draw with
Swansea.
Mourinho was disappointed that their actions reduced his
side to nine men at a crucial stage of the game, and
Carneiro was subsequently dropped from the bench, and it is
understood that she has now filed a claim against the
Portuguese.
The development means Mourinho will have to appear in
person at an employment tribunal unless the two parties can
reach a settlement outside of court. If victimisation or
discrimination can be proven then an individual can be
personally liable for damages.
Chelsea are thought to be aware of the filing of documents
and a spokesperson said: "As this matter is subject to legal
proceedings it wouldn't be appropriate to comment at this
time."
Mourinho has struggled thus far this season, seeing his side
win just three of their opening 11 Premier League games.
