Sam Kerr is back training with Chelsea, flashing a smile as she edges closer to full recovery from an ACL injury sustained in January. After months on the sidelines, the Australian striker has rejoined light sessions at Cobham, marking a huge step forward in her rehabilitation.
Manager Sonia Bompastor confirmed Kerr’s progress but avoided setting a return date. The Chelsea boss said the club is taking a cautious approach, managing Kerr’s workload individually to ensure a safe comeback. Recent training images showed Kerr moving freely and working with the ball alongside Guro Reiten.
Off the pitch, Kerr was recently cleared in court following allegations of racially aggravated harassment. Bompastor voiced strong support for her player, stressing that Kerr’s character stands in contrast to the headlines and reaffirming Chelsea’s commitment to standing by her.
With Chelsea chasing silverware on multiple fronts, Kerr’s return could prove crucial. The Blues continue their WSL title push this weekend with a clash against Everton, as fans eagerly await the day their star striker fully returns to competitive action.
