Sam Kerr will miss Chelsea's FAWSL games against Manchester United and West Ham in February after the striker was called up by Australia for their Tokyo Olympic 2020 qualifying campaign.

Kerr made her Chelsea debut on last Sunday, with a goal in the 3-1 win over Reading in one of the most talked-about FAWSL game from last weekend. Kerr will head to China to meet with her team "The Matildas," but will miss out on the training camp in Sydney. 

Australia will face China, Chinese Taipei and Thailand during the qualifiers. To progress to the two-leg playoff to reach Tokyo 2020, the Matildas need to finish first or second in the group.
