    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Matildas captain Sam Kerr has been charged over alleged racially aggravated harassment of a police officer in London early last year.

    Kerr appeared in court in London on Monday, where British media is reporting she pleaded not guilty, and is set to face a trial in February 2025.

    The 30-year-old is among the biggest names in Australian sport, and overcame a calf injury to dazzle at last year’s World Cup.

    In a statement, the sport’s governing body Football Australia said it was aware of the legal proceedings.

    She has won the Golden Boot award in three different continents — the W-League in Australia and New Zealand, the NWSL in North America and the Women’s Super League in Europe.

    Her father Roger Kerr said on Friday she was “definitely” out of the Paris Olympics, which the Matildas qualified for in a 10-0 thrashing of Uzbekistan in Melbourne last week.
