Former Chelsea first team doctor Eva Carneiro rejected a £1.2m settlement from the club, documents submitted to her employment tribunal show.

She is claiming constructive dismissal and is also bringing separate legal action against Jose Mourinho.
The former manager called her "daughter of a whore" in Portuguese when she treated a player, the tribunal heard.


Lawyers for Chelsea revealed that she chose to take the case to a hearing rather than accept the payout.
Dr Carneiro, 42, alleges the comment was made by Mr Mourinho, who left Chelsea in December, when she ran on to the pitch at Stamford Bridge during a Premier League match against Swansea in August to treat injured forward Eden Hazard.

She is claiming sex discrimination and harassment against the club's former manager following the incident and constructive dismissal against Chelsea.
