Chelsea FC have condemned homophobic abuse aimed at the club's striker Sam Kerr after she announced she was expecting a baby with West Ham United Women's midfielder Kristie Mewis. The 31-year-old Australia captain revealed the news in a post on Instagram on Monday, saying: 'Mewis-Kerr baby coming 2025!' It came with a picture of the couple kissing and showing off Mewis' baby bump.
'There is no place in society for any form of discrimination and we will not accept any abuse directed towards our players, staff or supporters. 'We are extremely proud to be a diverse, inclusive club that celebrates and welcomes people from all cultures, communities and identities.'
