Sam Kerr and Mia Fishel Join Chelsea’s Winter Training Camp
Chelsea FC Women’s strikers Sam Kerr and Mia Fishel have been included in the squad for the winter training camp in Portugal. This marks a key step in their recovery from ACL injuries sustained earlier in 2024.
Kerr suffered her injury during a January training session in Morocco, while Fishel’s setback occurred while on international duty with the United States in February. Their inclusion in the Portugal camp highlights positive progress, even though they remain sidelined for competitive matches.
Head coach Sonia Bompastor has kept fans updated on their recoveries, emphasizing the long-term nature of ACL injuries. Despite no set return dates, the duo’s participation in the camp reflects the club’s optimism for their eventual return to action.
Chelsea’s attacking depth will benefit immensely upon their recovery. With new addition Mayra Ramirez, versatile Catarina Macario, and emerging star Aggie Beever-Jones, the Blues are poised for a strong finish to the season as they prepare for upcoming fixtures.
