Sam Kerr, the Chelsea striker who captains the Australia women's national football team, has appeared in court charged with racially aggravated harassment of a police officer.

She attended a hearing at Kingston Crown Court in relation to an incident in Twickenham, south-west London, on 30 January 2023.

The all-time leading scorer for her country pleaded not guilty to the charge at the same court in March.

The 31-year-old's trial is scheduled to take place on 3 February.
