Australia’s road to the knockout stage of the Women’s World Cup just got a lot rockier with news of an injury to superstar Sam Kerr.
Kerr, considered one of the best players in the world, has been ruled out for at least the first two games of the tournament after suffering a calf injury on the eve of Australia’s opening game against Ireland. The team announced that it will reevaluate the striker after its second match.
“Unfortunately I sustained a calf injury yesterday in training,” Kerr posted on Instagram. “I wanted to share this with everyone so there is no distraction from us doing what we came here to achieve. Of course I would have loved to have been out there tonight but I can’t wait to be a part of this amazing journey which starts now.”
