New developments have emerged in the Eva Carneiro vs Jose Mourinho case.
According to sources who spoke to Sky Sports, Carneiro will
claim for reinstatement in her role as Chelsea first team doctor. It was
also revealed that the hearing date for the suit against Mourinho is
January 6.
The case against Mourinho would continue even if the Portuguese leaves Chelsea.
The former first team medic is suing Mourinho for sexual
discrimination. She is also said to be claiming for reinstatement to
her role at the club.
Mourinho criticised Carneiro when she ran on the pitch to treat
Belgian star Eden Hazard at the request of referee Michael Oliver during
the final stages of the Premier League fixture between Swansea v
Chelsea on August 8.
Mourinho was seen shouting angrily while watching Carneiro from the
touchline, before exchanging words as she came down the touchline to
return to the dug-out.
He immediately demoted the Gibraltar-born medic straight after the game, and she left the club thereafter.
Mourinho was cleared of using discriminatory language following an
investigation by the FA. However Carneiro later came out to say she was
not spoken to personally during the investigation, nor asked to provide
any statement.
