Chelsea Striker Sam Kerr Out for Season with ACL Injury

Kerr's Absence Could Impact Chelsea's Title Defense and Australia's Olympic Qualifiers

Chelsea striker Sam Kerr is set to miss the rest of the season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained during training in Morocco.
Kerr, who has scored 99 goals in 128 matches since signing for Chelsea in 2019, will also miss Australia's Olympic qualifiers and potentially the Paris Games.
Chelsea currently leads the Women's Super League by three points from Manchester City, but Kerr's absence could impact their title defense.
Possible replacements for Kerr at Chelsea include USWNT striker Mia Fishel and summer signing Catarina Macario, who is recovering from an ACL injury.
Kerr's contract with Chelsea expires at the end of the season, raising questions about her future with the club.
