Matildas bombshell as Sam Kerr is spotted wearing ice pack on her calf as Tony Gustavsson provides concerning update ahead of Women's World Cup semi-final against England... but is all as it seems?

Australia have been given a major scare ahead of their World Cup semi-final against England as Sam Kerr was spotted with a heavily strapped right calf on Tuesday.

The Matildas star sported an ice pack on her right calf as he walked back into the team hotel on Tuesday with her teammates after training.

Kerr, the Matildas captain and all-time leading goalscorer, injured her left calf a day before Australia's tournament opener against the Republic of Ireland last month and was forced to miss all three group stage games as a result.

The Chelsea forward came off the bench for the last 10 minutes of the 2-0 win over Denmark in the Round of 16 clash and was introduced with 55 minutes gone in the quarter-final against France on Saturday.
