Matildas captain Sam Kerr's sporting career has hit a crossroads after an incredibly turbulent year that has seen her life take a staggering series of twists and turns.
The Chelsea striker has pleaded not guilty to a charge of racially aggravated harassment of a police officer, according to the UK's Crown Prosecution Service.
Kerr was charged with causing a police officer harassment, alarm or distress arising from an alleged incident in Twickenham, south-west London, on January 30, 2023.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said the incident involved an officer who was responding to a complaint about a taxi fare.
