Former Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro has revealed she received death threats following her departure from the club and insisted not enough is being done to tackle sexism in football.

The 43-year-old left Chelsea in 2015 after public criticism from the then manager, José Mourinho, before settling her case against the club in the summer.

Carneiro was criticised by Mourinho after going on to the pitch to treat Eden Hazard against Swansea at Stamford Bridge in August 2015.

Carneiro, who claimed constructive dismissal against Chelsea, also reached a discrimination settlement with Mourinho and the club apologised "unreservedly" to the former first-team doctor for the distress caused. She left Stamford Bridge in September 2015, but admitted online abuse continued after her exit.

"Even though I don't have a presence on social media - I think I have made one post ever in my life - some of the threats of sexual violence and death threats make it through," Carneiro told the Telegraph. "They [the abusers] just seem to be faceless cowards and they should be answerable to legislation."
