Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro has decided to leave the club - six weeks after criticism from manager Jose Mourinho.
Carneiro had her role
downgraded
after Mourinho said his medical staff were "naive" for treating Eden Hazard during
the 2-2 draw with Swansea
on 8 August.
Chelsea asked Carneiro, 42, to return to work, but she has decided not to and is now considering her legal position.
The Football Association is looking into a complaint that Mourinho used abusive or sexist language towards her.
Carneiro and head physio Jon Fearn went onto the pitch to treat
midfielder Hazard in the closing stages of the draw with Swansea.
It meant the Blues were temporarily reduced to nine
men, with goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois having been sent off, and Mourinho
said the duo had been "impulsive and naive".
Carneiro lost her place on the bench and was no longer allowed to attend matches or training sessions.
Two days after the incident, she
posted a message on Facebook
thanking the public for their "overwhelming support".
Mourinho stood by his decision
to remove her from her role, adding he had a "good relationship" with his medical staff.
