Matildas and Chelsea icon Sam Kerr tore her anterior cruciate ligament in her knee in January 2024, missing the Paris Olympics and significant chunks of the Blues' Women's Super League campaign. However, the superstar is still yet to return from the injury and is currently in the process of a high-profile court case in London.

Sam Kerr’s fiancee said the Matildas’ star was “treated poorly” by police and she couldn’t imagine how she was feeling on the night of an argument with police officers after the couple were taken to a police station by a taxi driver over an issue with a fare.

Chelsea forward Sam Kerr said she feared for her life when "trapped" in a taxi before she was alleged to have caused racially aggravated harassment to a police officer, a court heard.

Chelsea forward Sam Kerr testified that police treated her differently because of "the color of my skin,” a court heard Wednesday during the Australia star's trial on a charge of racially aggravated harassment on a police officer.
