Good afternoon. Matildas coach Tony Gustavsson says he was blindsided by an allegation of racially aggravated harassment made against Australian captain Sam Kerr, and only found out about the charge this morning.
Kerr will face trial in the UK, likely in February next year, allegedly relating to an incident in January 2023 where she is accused of using insulting, threatening or abusive words against a police officer responding to a taxi fare dispute.
