Sam Kerr is back. 👀⁣ ⁣ Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor confirmed the Aussie striker will be in the squad for Friday’s WSL opener vs. Manchester City, her first football in 20+ months after suffering an ACL injury in January 2024. ⚡️⁣ ⁣ Bompastor said she’s unsure if Kerr will start, but noted she’s “in a good place” and stressed patience in her return. The Matildas captain missed the Paris Olympics while recovering, taking extra time with her second ACL injury to prioritize longevity. 🦵⁣ ⁣ Chelsea will also be without Mayra Ramírez (hamstring, out until 2026), plus England stars Lauren James and Lucy Bronze for “weeks.” 🤕⁣ ⁣ The champs chase a seventh straight WSL title this season, and Kerr’s comeback could be key. 🏆 #thegist⁣ ⁣ #samkerr #womenssports #womenssoccer #soccer #chelsea
