Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor has offered her full support to Sam Kerr after the striker was subjected to homophobic abuse online following the announcement she was expecting a baby with her partner, West Ham midfielder Kristie Mewis.
The 31-year-old Australia captain, who has missed the majority of this year with an ACL injury, 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.
While many were quick to congratulate them, they faced what Chelsea described as "unacceptable and hateful homophobic comments".
Comments on Kerr's original post were also limited after it had initially been published.
Speaking on Tuesday, Bompastor said: "I just want to support Sam, fully support her. These comments are unacceptable, especially in our world in 2024.
"It's crazy to understand how people can react like this. We're so happy for Sam. I can't wait to welcome this little baby into our Chelsea family."
