The head of Fifa’s medical committee says he will support Eva Carneiro in her legal case against Chelsea.
Former Blues doctor Carneiro is suing the club for constructive dismissal, while Blues boss Jose Mourinho is the subject of an individual legal action.
Carneiro was dropped from first-team duties after Mourinho said she was “naive” for treating Eden Hazard during a draw with Swansea.
“Of course I support Eva Carneiro,” said Fifa chief Michel D’Hooghe.
“She did her job, she did her duty – when somebody is medically in trouble she has to intervene. Of course she has my support and the whole medical committee’s.
“I have had email contact with her and she is very happy with the global support of the medical world in football.”
