โSince I joined Chelsea (in May last year) I really know Sam as a player, but also as a person, and I was really surprised for her to be involved in that.
โWho she is doesnโt reflect what I heard in the court and also what I was reading in the newspapers and everything.
โWe really know her, we are probably, with her family, the ones who know her the most and it was difficult to see her in that situation. We were really supporting her and Iโm really glad the verdict was positive and now she can move forward.โ
Bompastor, who revealed she had sent messages of support to Kerr throughout her case, added that the club would continue to rally around their star striker in the forthcoming weeks.
โWe care about Sam and we just want to give her the best.โ

Asked how Kerr had coped, she added: โWhen you know Sam, sheโs a really shy person and just wants to live her life, she doesnโt like to be in the light, shining, she just wants to be a normal person.โ
Kerr posted pictures on social media on Thursday, showing herself at training, but Bompastor admitted: โItโs difficult to give a really precise time frame for Sam, but we are really happy to have her back on the pitch with us, with the team.
โShe is progressing with her rehab and going in the right direction, but itโs difficult for me to give a really precise time frame.
