Chelsea will not sanction striker Sam Kerr in the wake of her court case, the English club's manager Sonia Bompastor said. The Australia captain on Tuesday was found not guilty of racially abusing a British police officer after a dispute with a cab driver two years ago.

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.
