Eva Carneiro has spoken out following her row with Chelsea and Jose Mourinho, saying that players having trust in the medical team at a football club is 'essential'.

The former Blues doctor came in for criticism from Mourinho, then boss at Stamford Bridge, following the first game of this season against Swansea.

Carnerio ran on to treat Eden Hazard meaning the Belgian would have to leave the pitch temporarily, putting Chelsea down to nine men.

She is now pursuing a constructive dismissal case against the club which is set to be heard at a public tribunal in June.

"Trust in the medical team is absolutely essential," said Carneiro at a football medical conference in London.

"If you get a player to trust you enough to guide the progression, he is much more likely to be able to progress well and not have to rely on his innate perception of what he thinks is going on.

"If you are able to inform the right decision with confidence, he will trust you have his best interests at heart.

"The relationship with management absolutely affects how ready [players] feel to take on a risk."
