Chelsea's Sam Kerr to miss Australia friendlies due to foot injury

Posted : 28 November 2023

Chelsea striker Sam Kerr will miss Australia's upcoming international friendlies against Canada due to a foot injury. The 30-year-old, who has been in impressive form for Chelsea, scoring three goals and providing three assists in six Women's Super League (WSL) matches, will stay in England for further assessment and treatment. Australia confirmed that Paris FC midfielder Sarah Hunter will replace Kerr in the squad. Kerr's absence adds to Australia's injury concerns, with Mackenzie Arnold, Charlotte Grant, and Holly McNamara also unavailable for the matches against Canada.

 

Chelsea will be hopeful that Kerr's injury is not long-term, as she has been a key player for them this season, contributing significantly to their lead in the WSL table. Kerr has also made an impact in the UEFA Women's Champions League, scoring in a 2-2 draw at Real Madrid and netting a hat-trick in a 4-1 victory over Paris FC. Chelsea is set to face Arsenal in a crucial league match on December 10, followed by a European tie against Hacken.

 

In a parallel development, Barcelona midfielder Alexia Putellas will miss Spain's upcoming Women's Nations League games due to a knee injury. The two-time Ballon d'Or winner sustained the injury in Barcelona's 5-0 Champions League victory over Benfica. Putellas, who missed the 2022 Euros due to a previous knee injury, played a crucial role in Spain's World Cup triumph in Australia in August. Her absence will be a setback for Spain as they face Italy and Sweden in the Women's Nations League next month.
