Australia’s star soccer player Sam Kerr is in trouble with the justice system in her adopted home of Great Britain. According to a statement from her national association, the striker from top London club Chelsea FC is being investigated on the island. According to media reports, Kerr is said to have racially abused a police officer.
There was initially no confirmation of this accusation. No further details about Kerr’s alleged dispute with the police officer were made public.
At Chelsea, Kerr is a teammate of German players Melanie Leupolz, Sjoeke Nüsken and Ann-Kathrin Berger. Australia’s 30-year-old national team captain has not been able to play since January due to a cruciate ligament injury. Kerr is expected to be out for several more weeks.
