Chelsea coach Sonia Bompastor has delivered a sad injury update on Australian superstar Sam Kerr. Bompastor says Kerr will remain out of action until well into the new year and won’t feature for the Blues in the early stages of their campaign to lift a sixth Women’s Super League title. It’s a devastating blow for Kerr and it now seems likely she won’t be available when the Matildas return to action in February for the SheBelieves Cup against Japan, US and Colombia.
“She didn’t start yet to train, even being modified with the group, so she’s still on her individual process rehab and I think it will take at least two or three more months for her to be fit enough to be with the squad.” After Australia thrashed Taiwan 6-0 in Geelong on Saturday night, veteran midfielder Tameka Yallop said it was a tough situation.
