Shock twist as Sam Kerr opens up about what is REALLY going on with the injury that kept her out of the Olympics

Sam Kerr, the star forward for Chelsea and the Australian national team, has revealed that her ACL injury isn’t the only issue affecting her return to the pitch. Speaking on the BBC’s Women’s Football Weekly podcast, Kerr admitted she’s taking a cautious approach to her recovery, despite being naturally impatient.

The 31-year-old athlete emphasized that while she feels physically strong and mentally healthy, her rehabilitation is progressing slower than she’d prefer. Intriguingly, Kerr hinted at additional health concerns but chose not to elaborate, leaving fans in suspense about her full condition.

This revelation comes after Kerr publicly denied rumors about her imminent return to Chelsea, shooting down a speculative social media post that suggested she would be back in action by October. The ACL injury, sustained during a January training camp in Morocco, has already caused her to miss key events, including the Paris Olympics and Chelsea’s Women’s Super League title win.

Beyond football, Kerr is also facing a separate legal battle, with a criminal trial set for February over an alleged racially aggravated harassment incident. Despite these challenges, Kerr remains optimistic about her future on the field, excited about the possibility of scoring her 100th goal for Chelsea.
