Eva Carneiro treated Eden Hazard during a 2-2 draw between Chelsea and Swansea in August 2015 | GETTY/GB News
Real Madrid head coach, Jose Mourinho has revisited his infamous clash with former Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro in 2015, insisting her gender had no bearing on his reaction to the incident.
GB News reported on Monday that Mourinho addressed the controversy in his new three-part Netflix documentary, MOURINHO, more than 11 years after the incident.
The row followed Chelsea’s 2-2 Premier League draw with Swansea City in August 2015, when Carneiro and physiotherapist Jon Fearn entered the pitch to treat Eden Hazard late in the game.
Mourinho was angered by the decision, believing Hazard did not require treatment, while the Belgian’s temporary departure from the pitch left Chelsea with nine players after goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois had already been sent off.
