Sam Kerr's court case for allegedly racially abusing a police officer will go ahead next year after a preliminary hearing scheduled for May 20 was cancelled.
Matildas captain Kerr and her legal team, led by leading criminal barrister Grace Forbes, were to appear at London's Kingston Crown Court on Monday to fight claims the 30-year-old allegedly insulted, threatened or caused alarm or distress to a police officer while returning home in a taxi following a night out with her fiancée Kristie Mewis on January 30 in 2023.
The case - where Kerr will plead not guilty - will now go to trial from February 3 in 2025 across four days.
