Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has confirmed that club doctor Eva
Carneiro and first-team physiotherapist Jon Fearn will not be on the
bench for Sunday's Premier League clash against Manchester City at the
Etihad Stadium.
Sources had told jaykootmobile earlier in the week that Carneiro has had her role with the club reduced in the wake of criticism by Mourinho.
The Chelsea boss was angry that Carneiro and Fearn rushed onto the pitch in stoppage time of Saturday's 2-2 draw against Swansea to treat Eden Hazard, meaning he had to leave the field as they had a free kick in a dangerous position in search of a last-ditch winner.
Carneiro herself appeared to reference the incident in a Facebook post on Sunday, stating: "I would like to thank the general public for their overwhelming support. Really very much appreciated."
Carneiro and Fearn will officially continue with the same job titles but will only work out of Chelsea's Cobham training complex, and will not travel with the squad to games or elsewhere. However, Mourinho said that change will not necessarily be permanent.
