Chelsea will not sanction striker Sam Kerr in the wake of her court case, the English club's manager Sonia Bompastor said.

Kerr, 31, ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during a winter training camp with Chelsea back in January 2023. For high performance athletes, time spent off the pitch with an ACL injury usually ranges between 8-12 months. With Februrary now in full swing, Kerr has commenced her 13th month of extraneous knee recovery.

Chelsea boss Sonia Bompastor has said Sam Kerr's apology following being acquitted of racially aggravated harassment is "enough" and added that she has the support of the club.
