What "facts" do we know about Dr Carniero's present situation?

1. Hazard was clattered to the ground. The player who clattered him was booked for the challenge. Hazard stayed down possibly winded; probably tired towards the end of the game.
   
   

The referee waved towards Carneiro. She ran onto the pitch. The player didn't need attention, just to get his breath back. He had to leave the pitch for the free kick which, as Chelsea only had eight outfield players on against ten defending players and a goal keeper, came to nothing.

Mourinho thought that, given the nature of the injury and the tactical position in the game, the doctor should have waited. He expects medical staff working in the environment that they do to understand such things.

He remonstrated with her. Not outrageously but made his point clear. He repeated the point to the press.

1. There has been a reorganisation of medical staff at Chelsea.
   
   

It is unclear and unknown whether there is any connection between the two.

There is a huge fuss about it because, as well as being part of one of the best medical teams in Europe, Caneiro is also a woman.

Why shouldn't a woman occupy that position? If she does, why should she not be subject to the same rules as any man?

dicki, can you name Liverpool's doctor?

Without googling...
