Chelsea star Sam Kerr has arrived at court to stand trial after allegedly racially abusing a police officer.
The captain of the Australia women’s national football team arrived at Kingston Crown Court on Monday morning.
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 has scored 99 goals in 128 matches since joining Chelsea in 2019 but has been out of action for Chelsea Women because of a long-term knee injury.
The trial is due to begin later on Monday.
