Chelsea first team doctor, Dr Eva Carneiro, has left the club after falling out with Chelsea Manager Jose Mourinho according to reports.
Dr Eva who has not reported to duty after Mourinho's public criticism of her for being naive is said to be considering her legal options.
Dr Eva and Physio, Jon Fearn, had ran into the pitch to treat Eden Hazard in Chelsea's opening league game against Swansea after the referee had signalled them to come in to treat Hazard.
It was late in the game and their entry into the pitch meant Chelsea would be temporarily down to 9 men as Thibaut Courtois had earlier been sent off for a professional foul and were hanging on.
This made Mourinho livid and he went on to give his medical staff a dressing down at the post match press conference. Mourinho is reported to still stand by his comments.
Dr Eva,42, who was born in Gibraltar, is a Sports Medicine Specialist. She joined Chelsea in 2009 and was promoted to the first team by Andre Villas Boas.
