The Matildas star won’t be there in the stands when Australia play their first game since their Paris Olympics disaster.
Sam Kerr is nearly 10 months down the road from her ACL injury but neither her club nor country has any idea when she will be ready to pull on the boots again, with interim Matildas boss Tom Sermanni saying her comeback will take as long as is needed.
“What happens a bit later in the year, we’ll address at that time because I honestly don’t know. But again, the key premise in all of this is getting Sam back on the football field as safely as possible and to make sure when she comes back, she’s going to come back for a long time.”After next week’s clash with Germany, the Matildas have four more matches scheduled before the end of the year - and all of them are in Australia, against Brazil and Chinese Taipei .A good result against the world No.
“The confidence within the group, within this squad, was a bit low because obviously this team has got high expectations. But I think athletes are resilient. To play at the top level, you have to be resilient. You have to come back and bounce back after bad results or bad tournaments. Sermanni tried to sign Galic at Western Sydney Wanderers, in his previous guise as the club’s head of women’s football. She has since moved to Dutch outfit FC Twente.
