Australia have confirmed talismanic captain Sam Kerr will miss the women’s Olympic soccer at the Paris Games while recovering from a serious knee injury.
The Chelsea striker suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury at a training camp in Morocco in January and her participation in Paris was highly doubtful. Football Australia ended the speculation on Tuesday in a squad announcement for Australia’s two-match home series against China which starts in Adelaide on May 31. “Attacker Amy Sayer and forward Sam Kerr remain on the sidelines with long term injuries,” FA said.
” Australia coach Tony Gustavsson said the 23-woman squad named on Tuesday was a strong guide to his final Olympic lineup but some omitted players, like injured midfielders Katrina Gorry and Aivi Luik, could come into consideration. “ most likely will be physically available to be part of an Olympic roster,” Gustavsson said of Gorry and Luik. “This window will be a tough one for me and my staff in terms of evaluating players, where they are, and then the final selection process for Paris.
