Sam Kerr

[DJC]

If the above accusations were correct, would you want her as captain of your team ?

Innocent unless proven guilty.

It seems that Sam's lawyers are doing what they can to have the charge dismissed. 

She appeared in court via a video link and I believe that only one reporter made the link between the charge and Sam Kerr.  That put paid to the "keep shtum until it goes away" approach, but it nearly worked.

Her future as Matildas' captain would depend on whether she's found guilty and what was actually said.  Of course, a recent official investigation found that "The Metropolitan police is broken and rotten, suffering collapsing public trust and is guilty of institutional racism, misogyny and homophobia."  That's got to tilt the scales of justice Sam's way.
