Sam Kerr sparked excitement among fans by posting training footage, showing progress in her recovery. Although absent from Joe Montemurro’s first Matildas squad, her presence at Chelsea sessions offers renewed hope for a return after her long injury layoff.
Kerr has not played in over 16 months due to an ACL injury and recently underwent additional surgery. Despite the setback, she continues her rehabilitation in England. Fans remain eager for updates as she steadily works her way back to full fitness.
The Matildas’ squad features 14 A-League Women players, with notable absences including Steph Catley, Caitlin Foord, and Katrina Gorry. Meanwhile, Hayley Raso and Mackenzie Arnold return from injury, bringing experience and renewed energy to the team.
Coach Joe Montemurro aims to rejuvenate the squad after a difficult year. With matches against Slovenia and Panama ahead, he emphasizes building belief and a strong identity as Australia looks to rebound from recent disappointments on the international stage.
