Sam Kerr Smashes Questions Everyone’s Asking
Sam Kerr has addressed speculation surrounding her fitness as the new Women’s Super League (WSL) season approaches. After being sidelined for nine months due to an ACL injury, the Australian star, who just turned 31, has reassured fans and critics that she is on the road to recovery, although she isn’t rushing her return.

In an interview with Optus Sport, Kerr explained that while her injury is healing well, she’s taking her time to ensure a full recovery, especially as this is her second ACL injury. “There’s definitely no rush for me,” Kerr emphasized, as she focuses on returning to peak condition for Chelsea.

Chelsea’s new coach Sonia Bompastor is fully supportive of Kerr, calling her a key player for the upcoming season. Bompastor, who aims to lead Chelsea to their long-sought UEFA Champions League title, expressed confidence in Kerr’s recovery and the role she’ll play once she returns to the pitch. Kerr has been pivotal for Chelsea, scoring 99 goals in 128 matches and helping secure multiple domestic titles. With Kerr’s international future also in flux due to a coaching change for the Matildas, Football Australia has reassured fans that she will be welcomed back whenever she’s ready.
