Carneiro is believed to have stayed away from the club since the incident on 8 August.

Team doctor leaves Chelsea after Mourinho dispute

The 42-year-old was criticised by the Blues manager after the clash with Swansea in August.

CHELSEA DOCTOR EVA Carneiro has left the club, six weeks on from her highly-publicised dispute with manager Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho had called the club’s medical staff “impulsive and naive” for entering the pitch late on in the opening day 2-2 draw with Swansea.

Carneiro and physio Jon Fearn treated Eden Hazard with minutes remaining of the game, leaving the Blues temporarily down to 10 men.

Carneiro was subsequently removed from her position on the Chelsea bench during matches and told to instead work with the players at the Cobham training ground.

But the doctor is believed to have stayed away from the club since the incident on 8 August and posted a message of thanks to well wishers on Facebook two days after the game.

The Football Association are also reviewing complaints that Mourinho used abusive or sexist language towards Carneiro.

    I would hope to see that Aidan O Shea that played full forward v Donegal in Croker tomorrow. Devastating if supplied with early ball. No Dublin back will stop him legally. It’s Mayo’s main chance of real reward. Out field will be a really tuff place for us but if early ball goes into full forward line regularly, we have a decent chance.
