sport news Sam Kerr: Fresh details emerge about night out that ended with Matildas star ... trends now

Details surrounding Sam Kerr's bombshell court case in London have been revealed, after the Australia superstar was charged with a racially aggravated offence.

On Tuesday morning, Daily Mail exclusively revealed that the Matildas captain will face trial in February next year for the alleged incident.

The Chelsea striker appeared in court accused of using insulting, threatening or abusive words that caused alarm or distress to the officer in Twickenham, southwest London, on January 30 last year.

The 30-year-old, who wore a white T-shirt under a black suit jacket as she appeared at Kingston Crown Court via videolink, spoke only to confirm her identity and to enter a not guilty plea to the charge.

She was told she was obliged to attend a four-day trial, scheduled for next February, during which two police officers are expected to give evidence.
