The
dispute between Chelsea and Jose Mourinho and former first-team doctor Eva
Carneiro continues with a tribunal hearing on Monday.
Carneiro arrived at Croydon Employment tribunal for the private hearing with
her husband, polar explorer Jason De Cartaret.
Chelsea chief executive Bruce Buck and director Marina Granovskaia are also
in attendance. The pair entered the employment tribunal building via a rear
entrance.
Carneiro is claiming constructive dismissal against Chelsea and has a
separate personal legal action against Mourinho, who left the club in
December, for alleged victimisation and discrimination. She also wants a
public apology from both Chelsea and Mourinho.
The 42-year-old doctor was criticised by Mourinho and dropped from
first-team duties following the 2-2 draw with Swansea on the opening day of
the Premier League season last August.
Carneiro and first-team physio Jon Fearn were publically rebuked by Mourinho
for going on to the pitch to treat Eden Hazard in the latter stages of the
game at Stamford Bridge.
As a result of the duo's intervention, Chelsea were temporarily down to nine
men, and afterwards Mourinho described Carneiro and Fearn as 'impulsive and
naive'.
Carneiro did not appear on the bench again for first-team duties and later
parted company with the club.
Mourinho was cleared of using discriminatory language towards Carneiro
following an investigation by the Football Association.
