Former Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro has settled her dismissal claim against the club on confidential terms.

Dr Carneiro had claimed constructive dismissal against the club and was also bringing separate legal action against former manager Jose Mourinho.

On Monday it emerged Chelsea offered Dr Carneiro £1.2m to settle her claims which she had rejected.

Chelsea said it "regretted the circumstances" which led to the former first team doctor leaving the club.

In a statement Dr Carneiro said: "I am relieved that today we have been able to conclude this tribunal case. It has been an extremely difficult and distressing time for me and my family and I now look forward to moving forward with my life."

My priority has always been the health and safety of the players and fulfilling my duty of care as a doctor."
