Mourinho confirms demotion of Chelsea medics

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho on Friday confirmed reports
that team doctor Eva Carneiro and head physiotherapist Jon
Fearn have been removed from match-day duties, but said it
was not permanent, AFP reports.
Mourinho was angered when Carneiro and Fearn ran on to treat
Eden Hazard during last weekend’s 2-2 draw with Swansea City,
which temporarily left Chelsea with nine players due to
ThibautCourtois’s earlier dismissal.
Reports emerged on Tuesday that Carneiro and Fearn would no
longer attend matches or training sessions, but while Mourinho
said they would not be on the bench for Sunday’s game at
Manchester City, it was not a permanent move.
“Jon Fearn and DrCarneiro will not be on the bench, but it
doesn’t mean Sunday is the rest of our season or our careers,”
Mourinho told journalists at his weekly press conference.
“They won’t be on the bench on Sunday. That’s clear, it’s my
decision, my responsibility, but it doesn’t mean they won’t be in
the future.”
Mourinho did not disclose why Carneiro and Fearn had been
sidelined for the trip to the Etihad Stadium, but said that he had
a “very, very good relationship” with his medical department.
Speaking after the Swansea game, Mourinho said that Carneiro
and Fearn had been “impulsive and naive” by going on to treat
Hazard and said their behaviour showed that they did not
“understand the game”.
