Eva Carneiro has spoken out following her row with Chelsea and Jose Mourinho,
saying that players having trust in the medical team at a football club is
'essential'.
The former Blues doctor came in
for criticism from Mourinho, then boss at Stamford Bridge, following the first
game of this season against Swansea. Carnerio ran on to treat Eden Hazard
meaning the Belgian would have to leave the pitch temporarily, putting Chelsea
down to nine men. She is now pursuing a constructive dismissal case against the
club which is set to be heard at a public tribunal in June. "Trust in the
medical team is absolutely essential," said Carneiro at a football medical
conference in London.
"If you get a player to trust
you enough to guide the progression, he is much more likely to be able to
progress well and not have to rely on his innate perception of what he thinks
is going on. If you are able to inform the right decision with confidence, he
will trust you have his best interests at heart,’’ she said.
