Chelsea filed their defence in the tribunal hearing in December and another private preliminary hearing was held in January. Her lawyers have also launched a separate but related legal claim against former Chelsea manager Mourinho for alleged discrimination.
Jose Mourinho after the Swansea game had called the club doctor “impulsive and naive” when she and the physio came on to the pitch to treat Eden Hazard who was down injured. The two sides are so far apart financially.
The private session, heard in front of a judge, will see if a settlement can be reached between the sides to avoid a potentially embarrassing public hearing in June.
Chelsea’s former physiotherapist, Eva Carneiro would love a public apology from Mourinho.
But away from the boardroom – and into the courtroom – he’s at the centre of an employment tribunal battle.
Statements and documents such as emails and text messages would also be likely to be made public.
It seems we’re not as close to a resolution as some might have hoped when it comes to the dispute between Eva Carneiro and Jose Mourinho.

Several rumours have linked Jose Mourinho with a to Manchester United in the summer after Louis Van Gaal has been unable to achieve the standards expected of a manager of the club. Carneiro criticised the FA’s investigation, however, revealing she wasn’t even asked to give evidence.
