SYDNEY, May 6 — Matildas striker Sam Kerr says the Covid-19 crisis has wreaked havoc in the medium-term career planning for Australia's top women footballers, leaving them with a major tournament to play every year until 2024. “This has put a real spanner in the works,” Kerr told Fox Sports TV from lockdown in London, where she plays for Chelsea.“Next year's Olympics, then Asian Cup, then World Cup, then Olympics again. So the next off-year for the Matildas is five years away now when it was only one year.
Kerr got on the scoresheet as Australia qualified for the Tokyo Olympics with a 2-1 victory over Vietnam in a match played behind closed doors in Cam Pha in mid-March.
