Chelsea striker Sam Kerr has appeared in court charged with alleged racially aggravated harassment of a police officer.

The captain of the Australia women’s national soccer team, the Matildas, attended a hearing, wearing a black coat and a white jumper, at Kingston Crown Court on Tuesday (UK time).

Kerr, 31, is charged with causing a police officer harassment, alarm or distress under Section 4A of the Public Order Act during an incident in Twickenham, south-west London, on January 30, 2023.

The all-time leading Australian international scorer pleaded not guilty at Kingston Crown Court in March last year.

Kerr’s trial is scheduled to start on February 3.
