  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Kerr suffered a devastating blow as she ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) during a Chelsea training camp in Morocco which ruled her out not only for the rest of the season but also for this year’s Paris Olympics. Despite being sidelined for several months due to the debilitating knee injury, the Matildas star has shown remarkable progress in her recovery journey.

  Despite the setback, Kerr's stellar performance earlier in the season cannot be overlooked. The 30-year-old forward made a significant impact, scoring nine goals in 12 appearances across all competitions. Notably, she secured a memorable hat-trick during the Blues' 4-1 victory over Paris FC in a Women's Champions League group stage match in November.
