The drama that ensued after Chelsea’s
opening day fixture against at Stamford Bridge has been greeted with
extreme repugnance by FIFA.
It would be recalled that Mourinho was angry with Carneiro and Jon Fearn, after they rushed to treat Eden Hazard in stoppage time, with the Blues already down to 10 men, after goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was dismissed by Michael Oliver.
However, football world governing body FIFA condemned Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho over his treatment of Chelsea doctor, Eva Carneiro.
Adding his voice to the unfolding drama, Professor Jiri Dvorak, FIFA’s chief medical officer, stated that coaches don’t have a right to order their medical staff whether or not they should go on the pitch.
Dvorak said: “In medical aspects, in medical diagnosis, the manager has nothing to say.
“This is our professional law and our ethical duty to look after the players’ health.”
Dvorak also made it clear that the doctor was in charge and were within their rights to run onto the field.
“I can’t see such a situation and we have to defend the position of the doctor.
“Everyone involved has to respect the fact the doctor is in charge.
“I don’t want to interfere with the club as such, but I would endorse clearly what the team doctor and the physiotherapist did. When they were asked, they had to come on to the pitch.”
Champions Chelsea will play last season’s runners up Man city at the Etihad stadium in week 2 of the Barclays Premier League.
