The Football Medical Association is "disappointed" that an agreement for former club doctor Eva Carneiro to return to work at Chelsea never materialised.

Carneiro has not been back to work since a falling-out with manager Jose Mourinho in the 2-2 draw with Swansea City on Aug. 8. The club and its former doctor officially parted ways Tuesday.

From the FMA's statement, according to BBC Sport:

The FMA is extremely disappointed that Dr Eva Carneiro will not be resuming her full duties as first-team doctor at Chelsea Football Club.

Having recently been contacted by Eva, we have offered our full support in attempting to negotiate a satisfactory outcome. Unfortunately this has not resulted in our preferred outcome.

In further support of Carneiro, a joint statement from the British Association of Sport and Exercise Medicine and Faculty of Sport and Exercise Medicine has been submitted to the League Managers Association.

The Football Association is also investigating a complaint that Mourinho used sexist language towards Carneiro. If found guilty, the Portuguese could incur a five-match ban.

The Chelsea boss lashed out at his medical team in the Swansea City draw after its treatment of Eden Hazard briefly left his side with nine men after Thibaut Courtois had been sent off earlier.

"I wasn't happy with my medical staff because even if you are a medical doctor or secretary on the bench, you have to understand the game," he told the press postgame.

It became clear later that referee Michael Oliver gestured for Carneiro and physio John Fearn to tend to Hazard, obligating them to do so.

An expensive legal battle between Carneiro and Chelsea is expected, as off-field problems compound the poor start to the Blues' domestic campaign so far.
