Chelsea and Eva Carneiro set for second hearing - sources

Eva Carneiro was criticised after treating Eden Hazard near the end of August's 2-2 draw with Swansea.

Chelsea will have another chance to avoid a public employment tribunal into former club doctor Eva Carneiro's constructive dismissal claim at a private hearing next month, sources have confirmed to ESPN FC.

Carneiro is claiming constructive dismissal against Chelsea and sex discrimination against Mourinho, and her legal team will put forward their demands for a settlement at the hearing.

If no agreement is reached, the case is set for a public employment tribunal in early June at which all witness statements will be disclosed and witnesses -- including Carneiro and Mourinho -- could be summoned to give evidence.

The Football Association cleared Mourinho of sexist abuse towards Carneiro in September after a complaint made by a member of the public, who alleged that TV footage showed the former Chelsea boss using an abusive phrase with a sexist element during the incident. Carneiro subsequently issued a statement criticising the FA for failing to interview her.

Chelsea are not commenting on the matter while legal proceedings are ongoing.
