Eva Carneiro Departs Chelsea After Jose Mourinho Row: Latest Details, Reaction

Chelsea have parted ways with former first-team doctor Eva Carneiro, who is alleged to be considering legal action against the club relating to a clash with manager Jose Mourinho earlier this season.

MailOnline's Matt Lawton wrote Carneiro has not been seen at the Cobham training ground since the incident that occurred during a 2-2 draw against Swansea City six weeks ago, with insiders confirming her exit.

It was during that result the medical staff member earned Mourinho's ire for treating downed star Eden Hazard, leaving the Blues at a temporary two-man disadvantage, much to the tactician's disdain.

The Press Association's Martyn Ziegler followed up Tuesday's announcement with quotes from FA board member Heather Rabbatts, who expressed "anger and sadness" to see Carneiro leave her role at Chelsea.

Lawton goes on to report Mourinho calling Carneiro and physio Jon Fearn "impulsive and naive" for rushing to Hazard's aid. However, matters have been complicated further by new allegations the manager called Carneiro "filha da puta," per Lawton, which translates from Portuguese as "daughter of a w---e."

Mourinho contests the Football Association investigation by proclaiming he used the masculine translation of the term "filho da puta," meaning "son of a b---h," but a verdict is yet to be reached.

The Guardian's Richard Whittall praises Carneiro's decision to leave the reigning Premier League champions, insisting Mourinho's alleged torrent of abuse serves as an unnecessary distraction in her work:

As if Chelsea's tumultuous start to the 2015-16 campaign hasn't cast a big enough gloom over Stamford Bridge, the entire debacle threatens to direct more unwelcome attention their way.

Last month, longer-term Mourinho rival and Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger threw his support behind Carneiro, insisting the rules were clear as to when medics did their duty, per MailOnline's Matt Barlow:

"

It can be a problem inside a club. It's difficult enough and if you're not united it's more difficult. Trust and unity inside a club is a strength. That story at Chelsea, I have not followed that and I do not have great interest in what's going on.

Secondly, the rules are clear, when the ref give indication for the medics to come on they can come on. After that, in this situation, I don't know. But the rules are quite clear. The referee makes the decision.

"

Chelsea need to give off a united front now more than ever as they sit 15th in the Premier League table, losing three of their opening six games so far and conceding 12 goals, the second-highest tally of any team.

Mourinho will look to quickly put any Carneiro controversy to one side, though, as he prepares his side for a Capital One Cup clash against Walsall on Wednesday, while the departed medic considers her next step.
