Five months after injuring her knee, Sam Kerr has finally been ruled out of contention for Paris 2024.
In a statement, FA said Kerr would continue her rehab with her club, as will young attacker Amy Sayer, who also hurt her ACL while playing for Swedish club side Kristianstads DFF earlier this month, scuppering her own Olympic hopes. Kerr, 30, has had an eventful year despite her injury. A preliminary hearing scheduled for Monday, where Kerr’s lawyers were expected to attempt to have her racially aggravated harassment charge thrown out, was cancelled, which means the matter will go to trial next year – by which stage Kerr is likely to be fully fit and back playing again for Chelsea and Australia.
“This is the last camp to show the national team coaches that you want to be part of an Olympic roster, and a lot of players want to be that. So it’ll be some very good conversations and some tough conversations to be had ... because obviously the selection has to be made during the June window.
