Matildas star Sam Kerr has been refused travel with Jetstar after they claimed her passport was too damaged.

Sam Kerr just signed a $2-million-a-season deal with women’s English Premier League giants Chelsea, making her the highest-paid female footballer in Australian history.

The soccer star posted a photo of her passport to her Twitter account, describing the situation as “a joke”.
