Kristie Mewis, partner of Sam Kerr, shared an inspiring update just weeks after giving birth to their son, Jagger. The West Ham midfielder returned to football training, posting a candid photo on Instagram highlighting her first post-pregnancy session, humorously calling it “possibly her last.”
Mewis’s quick return surpasses FIFA’s postpartum guidelines, which suggest a longer recovery before high-performance activity. Her resilience impressed fans, while Kerr faces her own challenges, recently undergoing additional surgery unrelated to her prior ACL injury suffered in 2024 during Chelsea training.
Sam Kerr, still sidelined for 16 months, is gradually returning to grass training under Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor’s supervision. The precise timeline for her full return remains uncertain, though both Bompastor and new Matildas coach Joe Montemurro remain optimistic.
The Matildas have a busy schedule ahead, with friendlies against Slovenia and Panama, marking Montemurro’s debut as head coach. Kerr’s comeback will be closely monitored as Australia prepares for upcoming international fixtures.
