Injured captain Sam Kerr will return to the Matildas this week, after Football Australia found her behaviour—the subject of a court case in London last month—“warranted no further action” due to her “professional and sincere acceptance of responsibility, as well as her acknowledgment of the far-reaching implications of on- and off-field actions.”
The 31-year-old was accused of racially aggravated harassment of a police officer after she called him “stupid and white,” but was cleared of the charge.
