Former Chelsea first team doctor Eva Carneiro rejected a £1.2m settlement from the club, documents submitted to her employment tribunal show, reports BBC News.

Dr Carneiro is claiming constructive dismissal against the football club.

She is also bringing a separate legal action against Jose Mourinho, who left Chelsea in December, for alleged victimisation and discrimination.

Dr Carneiro's lawyer said the former Chelsea manager would face at least one day of questions at the hearing.

The case is anticipated to be heard over seven to 10 days at the London South Employment Tribunal in Croydon.

Dr Carneiro's barrister Mary O'Rourke QC told the hearing she is likely to take at least a day to cross-examine Mr Mourinho - now manager of Manchester United - who did not attend the first day of the case.
