Mourinho lost his temper when first-team doctor Carneiro and physio Fearn entered the field to treat attacker Hazard against Swansea City. Football rules mean a player must leave the pitch for a short period of time once they have received medical attention.

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." "Everyone involved has to respect the fact the doctor is in charge," he added.

"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."

Guidelines issued by the GMC -- the body to which all practicing medical doctors in Britain must be registered -- say a doctor must "take prompt action" if they believe a patient's "safety, dignity or comfort are being compromised."
