Sam Carr has avoided being snatched away from Matildas captaincy after a meeting with the Football Australia Board, the striker finally joined the Australian women’s team in the camp.
The parties met Kerr to address the recent UK court case, where he was not found guilty on an allegation of racial harassment of a police officer.
Kerr, who had not played after tearing his ACL during the Chelsea Training Camp in January last year, spoke with the Football Australia Board for the incident that it did not take any further action.
Kerr said in a statement from football Australia, “I want to express my honest regret of how the events were revealed.” “It was an incredibly difficult period for me, my family, my club, my colleagues and especially for fans, whose support means a lot for us.
“I believe that leadership means to take care of our functions both on the pitch and closed.
“I am proud of Matildas, the role I have played as a member of that team, and whatever we do, and I am committed to learning from this experience.”
Football Australia President Eater Isaac said that the incident should not be noticed to the contribution of Kerr in the game.
Isaac said, “Knowing how Sam (Kerr) feels about events, with the additional reference we learned, have added important perspectives that the general public may not know.”
“By separating those difficulties, this one incident should not offset incredible contributions made by them, both publicly and privately, on the field – for more than 15 years.”
As part of her returns-to-play program, Kerr has now joined the Matialidus Training Camp for March/April FIFA Women International Window (31 March to 8 April). The holiday given by Chelsea, she will continue his rehabilitation under the supervision of the performance of Mattidus under the supervision of the team.
Kerr has not yet been approved for competitive football, although Mattidus would expect that she is available to face Argentina in Melbourne on 30 May and Canberra on 2 June.
