LONDON: Eva Carneiro, the Chelsea team doctor publicly criticised by manager Jose Mourinho, has left the club, according to British media reports on Tuesday.

Carneiro was removed from match-day duties last month after her and physiotherapist Jon Fearn were rebuked by Mourinho for running on to treat Eden Hazard during Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Swansea City on the season’s opening weekend, which temporarily left his team with nine players. Several media outlets, including the BBC, said that Carneiro, 42, had left Chelsea and was expected to launch a claim for constructive dismissal.

Chelsea have not commented on the reports. It follows reports last week that Mourinho could face a five-match ban after a member of the public complained that the Portuguese had used sexist and abusive language against Carneiro.
