- Club criticised ‘unacceptable and hateful’ messages
- Manager Sonia Bompastor hit out at ‘crazy’ reactions
The Chelsea captain, Millie Bright, and manager, Sonia Bompastor, have strongly condemned homophobic abuse aimed at Sam Kerr, after the Chelsea striker and her partner, West Ham’s Kristie Mewis, shared news that they are expecting a baby.
Kerr, the Australia captain, and Mewis, a USA international, shared photos of Mewis’s baby bump but Chelsea soon issued a statement criticising “unacceptable and hateful” messages among the comments, which had to be switched off by Kerr.
