Carneiro was backed by FIFA, with the governing body's chief medical officer Jiri Dvorak telling Sky Sports News that club doctors have an "ethical duty to look after the players' health."

"It is a problem inside the club that if you are not united it is more difficult," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who has clashed with Mourinho on numerous occasions in the past, said of the incident. "It is the trust and unity that makes the strength." Adrian Dennis/AFP/Getty
