With Februrary now in full swing, Kerr has commenced her 13th month of extraneous knee recovery. With the striker seemingly facing setbacks in her recovery, Chelsea head coach Sonia Bompastor told media in December that we aren't likely to see Kerr for "at least two or three months more".

The Australian football star is on trial charged with racially abusing a white police officer after a taxi driver took her and her partner to a police station after one of them smashed the car window.

Matildas and Chelsea icon Sam Kerr tore her anterior cruciate ligament in her knee in January 2024, missing the Paris Olympics and significant chunks of the Blues' Women's Super League campaign. However, the superstar is still yet to return from the injury and is currently in the process of a high-profile court case in London.
