The Matildas captain, 31, is not expected to feature in the upcoming matches against Slovenia or Panama, but remains actively involved in camp with new coach Joe Montemurro’s squad. Her presence alone has uplifted fans and teammates alike.
While a competitive return date remains uncertain, the vision of Kerr moving freely at the Sam Kerr Football Centre has been a source of optimism for both the Matildas and Chelsea FC.
Supporters across Australia have eagerly awaited this moment, and the training footage offers fresh hope that Kerr’s comeback is drawing closer. Her leadership and form will be crucial ahead of future international and club competitions.
