Overview

• Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor confirmed Kerr will feature against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on Friday.
• The appearance will be her first since an anterior cruciate ligament injury suffered in January 2024 on a club training trip.
• Bompastor said Kerr has trained well and is in a good physical and mental place for match involvement.
• The coach urged supporters to expect managed minutes rather than immediate peak form, noting only limited pre-season action.
• Her return is also viewed as timely for the Matildas with the Women’s Asian Cup in Australia less than six months away.
