FA chief Heather Rabbatts 'angered' by doctor Eva Carneiro's Chelsea exit

FA board member Heather Rabbatts admits that she feels 'angry' after learning that doctor Eva Carneiro has left her role at Chelsea.

Football Association board member Heather Rabbatts has admitted that she feels 'sad and angry' about Eva Carneiro's departure as Chelsea's team doctor.

The Gibraltar-born medic has not been at the Blues' Cobham training ground since being demoted from her matchday role by the Premier League champions last month.

Manager Jose Mourinho publicly criticised Carneiro and physio Jon Fearn for treating Eden Hazard on the pitch during Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Swansea City on the opening day of the season.

Mourinho felt that it was unnecessary for the pair to run onto the pitch as his team were already down to 10 men following the dismissal of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

On Tuesday, it was reported that Carneiro has left her role at Stamford Bridge and intends to launch a claim for constructive dismissal, according to PA.

"News of Dr Eva Carneiro's departure from Chelsea FC makes me feel sadness and anger," said Rabbatts. "Eva was one of the few very senior women in the game - a highly respected doctor who has acted with professional integrity in difficult circumstances and whose skills have been highly praised by her colleagues, the club and governing bodies."

Carneiro joined Chelsea in 2009.
