London: Matildas captain Sam Kerr has appeared in court charged with racially aggravated harassment of a police officer.
The Chelsea forward is one of the top women’s soccer players in the world and Australia’s all-time leading goalscorer.
The 31-year-old Kerr attended a pre-trial hearing at Kingston Crown Court charged with causing a police officer harassment, alarm or distress under the UK’s Public Order Act during an incident in Twickenham in south-west London on January 30, 2023.
She pleaded not guilty in March last year.
The football superstar’s trial is scheduled to take place on February 3 after a preliminary hearing was delayed.
