Mary O'Rourke QC, a medical barrister, criticises the FA for 'saying nothing' over Chelsea's treatment of team medic Eva Carneiro.

The Football Association has been criticised by a medical barrister for 'staying silent' over the treatment of Chelsea team doctor Eva Carneiro.

The 41-year-old medic was publicly scolded by Jose Mourinho after she and head physio Jon Fearn went on the pitch to treat midfielder Eden Hazard in a game against Swansea City in August.

Carneiro's role was downgraded after Mourinho claimed that the move was "impulsive and naive", and she is reportedly yet to return to work at Stamford Bridge.

Mary O'Rourke QC is quoted by BBC Sport as saying: "I don't believe those medics should be following the game. In my view they have people on the pitch who are their patients - they should be following them only and not the ball.

"It's disappointing that the FA has said nothing."

The FA has yet to respond to the comments.
