Australia and Chelsea forward Sam Kerr ruptured her ACL during the English club’s warm weather training camp in Morocco, according to her national team.
Chelsea said Kerr will be “assessed by a specialist in the coming days,” per a statement, before she begins her recovery. The club did not set a timeline for her return, calling it an ACL injury, but Australia said she ruptured her ACL. She’s expected to miss the remainder of the WSL season as well as the final round of the AFC Women’s Olympic Qualifying Tournament next month. The Matildas will face Uzbekistan in a home-and-away series at the end of February with a spot at the summer’s Olympics Games on the line. It’s unclear what her status will be for the Olympics later this summer.
