Ex-Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro received death threats after club exit

Former Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro revealed she received death threats following her exit from the club and insisted not enough is being done to tackle sexism in football.

The 43-year-old left Chelsea in 2015 after public criticism from former manager Jose Mourinho before settling her case against the club in the summer.

Carneiro was publicly criticised by former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho after going on to the pitch to treat Eden Hazard against Swansea at Stamford Bridge in August 2015.

Carneiro, who claimed constructive dismissal against Chelsea, also reached a discrimination settlement with Mourinho and the club apologised "unreservedly'' to the former first-team doctor for the distress caused.
