Sam Kerr has returned to Chelsea training with a smile, marking a significant milestone in her recovery from an ACL injury suffered in January. Though back on the pitch, she is still undergoing a carefully managed rehabilitation process.
The Australian striker was seen at Cobham alongside teammates, engaging in light ball work. While not fully integrated into team sessions, her presence and positive energy have been welcomed as Chelsea eyes a strong season finish.
Manager Sonia Bompastor expressed delight at Kerr’s progress but refrained from confirming a return date. She emphasized that recovery timelines vary and Kerr’s rehab remains individualized.
Following her recent court case clearance, Chelsea reiterated full support for Kerr. Bompastor affirmed the club’s belief in her character and commitment, highlighting the importance of backing players through both professional and personal challenges.
