Sam Kerr rinses fiancee Kristie Mewis ahead of Bristol City WSL clash after USWNT star’s fight against the wind on West Ham debut

Chelsea FC Women’s striker, Sam Kerr, playfully teased her fiancee, Kristie Mewis, ahead of West Ham United Women’s upcoming Women’s Super League (WSL) clash against Bristol City.

Mewis, a recent addition to West Ham, experienced challenging weather conditions during her debut, describing them as “comical” in the team’s 4-3 loss to Tottenham last weekend. Kerr, engaging in some friendly banter, commented on Mewis’ Instagram post about the match, humorously expressing, “Hope there’s wind in Bristol.”

As Mewis aims to contribute to West Ham’s fight to remain in the WSL, the team currently finding themselves second from the bottom, Kerr faces a different challenge. The Chelsea star is undergoing rehabilitation for an ACL injury, potentially sidelining her for the season. This injury comes in what is expected to be Emma Hayes’ final campaign as the Blues’ manager. Despite Kerr’s setback, Mewis, with over 50 caps for the USWNT, is anticipated to play a crucial role in West Ham’s upcoming WSL matches against Arsenal on February 4 and an away trip to Everton two weeks later.

The playful exchange between Kerr and Mewis sheds light on the personal dynamics within the footballing world, adding a touch of humor amid the competitive nature of the sport. As fans eagerly await the outcome of West Ham’s clash with Bristol City, the focus also extends to the ongoing developments in Kerr’s rehabilitation and Mewis’ pivotal role in West Ham’s bid to secure their position in the Women’s Super League.
