Carneiro lost her place on the bench and was no longer allowed to attend matches or training sessions.

Alongside fellow physio Jon Fearn she ran on to treat Eden Hazard, meaning that he would have to be temporarily removed from the field of play.
Carneiro is being advised by the law firm Mischon de Reya and it has been claimed by lawyers that she will have a case for constructive dismissal against Chelsea.
Dr Carneiro, 41, is also said to be taking legal action against the Premier League champions.
According to UK’s Express, video evidence accompanied by a letter prove that Mourinho “specifically targeted” Eva Carneiro at the Chelsea’s match against Swansea. While the Belgian didn’t immediately get up, referee Michael Oliver signalled the Chelsea bench to treat the forward.
A fan tweeted: “Sad to hear that Dr Carneiro is to leave”.
Mourinho might consider winning the most important thing in football but he can not decide when a player receives treatment and when they shouldn’t.
Carneiro, born in Gibraltar to a Spanish father and English mother, thanked people on Facebook for their support in the aftermath of the incident, but has not spoken publicly since. “Really very much appreciated”. It is now clear that she has departed the club – as revealed by MailOnline yesterday.
We are bitterly disappointed about the departure of Dr Eva Carneiro from Chelsea FC.
Carneiro is now likely to launch a legal battle having taken advice from a top firm of lawyers who were not available for comment today.
Mourinho works to simple rules with those welcomed into his inner circle; you are either with me, or against me.
In truth, the sexism argument carried little weight until reports emerged last week accusing Mourinho of using “abusive, sexist language” towards his now former doctor, yet it seems that investigation will not lead to any charges being placed on Mourinho.
Earlier this month, FA chief executive Martin Glenn said: “We work to a Federation Internationale de Football Association mandate on medical support”.
“The player and the referee are the initial judges as to whether treatment is required and, the matter is then the responsibility of the highly qualified and trained medical staff”.

Costa’s antics were widely criticised within the game, but Mourinho was eager to stress his player’s innocence and will no doubt have more thoughts to add to the terse statement issued by the club on Tuesday night.
