News reports coming out of Chelsea reveals that the English club and Dr Eva Carneiro have parted company.
The popular doctor is preparing to sue the Blues after she was banned from the bench and team hotel after Mourinho publicly accused her of making a mistake when she and team physiotherapist Jon Fearn rushed on to the pitch to treat Eden Hazard, having twice been waved on by referee Michael Oliver.
The club is bracing itself for what could prove an expensive legal battle. She was ordered to return to work last Friday for the first time since her fallout with Jose Mourinho during the Premier League match against Swansea City on August 8.
She however failed to report back at the club.
News of her departure has invited criticism from within the FA board room, with board member Heather Rabbatts expressing her 'sadness and anger' at Dr Carneiro's departure.
Rabbatts:
'Any other response would have been a dereliction of her duty and a breach of General Medical Council guidelines.
'In acting properly she was then subject to verbal abuse and public criticism and in effect demoted by her removal from the bench.
'Eva was one of the few very senior women in the game, a highly respected doctor who has acted with professional integrity in difficult circumstances and whose skills have been highly praised by her colleagues, the club and governing bodies.'
