Eva Carneiro was back in a football stadium on Tuesday night as the former Chelsea doctor took in Gibraltar's 5-0 defeat by Latvia.
Gibraltar-born Carneiro was a guest of her hometown's Football Association for the international friendly at the 5,000-seat Victoria Stadium.
She remains locked in an employment tribunal with Chelsea and their former manager Jose Mourinho having failed to reach an agreement over personal damages following her departure from the club last year.
But despite the difficulties she has experienced this season, the 42-year-old seemed in good spirits at a venue that would usually represent a place of work for her.
Carneiro is suing Chelsea for constructive dismissal, with the two parties currently trying to thrash out an agreement before a public tribunal is set to commence in June.
The former Blues doctor and her one-time employers were described as being 'far apart financially' following six-and-a-half-hour discussions earlier this month.
Against West Ham last weekend Chelsea physio Jon Fearn has made a first return to the dugout since he and Carneiro were labelled 'naive' by Mourinho.
He had not been with the squad on match days since he and Carneiro ran on to the pitch to treat Eden Hazard back in August during a match against Swanedical profession.
Minnows Gibraltar held Latvia in the first half of Tuesday nigsea.
Mourinho, who was sacked in December, was furious and criticised the pair for their actions, but they received widespread support, particularly from the mht's friendly but conceded five times after the half-time break to crumble to a heavy defeat.
Metz midfielder Janis Ikaunieks scored the first and last goals in the first minute of the second half and later in the 84th.
Kaspars Dubra, Valerijs Sabala and Aleksejs Visnakovs netted Latvia's other goals on the night.
