Sam Kerr: Chelsea striker suffers ACL injury at club training camp​

Chelsea striker Sam Kerr is set to miss the rest of the season after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury at the club's warm weather training camp in Morocco.
Chelsea say she will be assessed by a specialist in the coming days and then begin her rehabilitation.

The 30-year-old Australia captain has scored 99 goals in 128 matches since signing for Chelsea in 2019.
The Blues lead the Women's Super League by three points from Manchester City.
During her time at Chelsea, Kerr has won four WSL titles, three FA Cups, two Women's League Cups and the Women's Community Shield.
She has also won the Golden Boot twice, and was runner-up to Spain's Aitana Bonmati at the Ballon d'Or awards last year.
This season, she has scored four goals in eight WSL games for the Blues and has excelled in the Champions League, scoring five goals in four matches.
The Blues said: "Everyone at Chelsea would like to wish Sam the very best for her recovery."
Kerr, who missed part of last summer's World Cup with a calf injury sustained in training, had just recovered from a foot injury which kept her out of her country's friendly internationals against Canada last month.

As well as the remainder of Chelsea's season, she will also miss Australia's Olympic qualifiers against Uzbekistan next month and would also be out of this summer's Paris Games, if they qualify.
"Considering how hard Sam has worked over the past six months to return to play, this news is a devastating blow for everyone," said Australia coach Tony Gustavsson.
"With her ability to lead by example, Sam's guidance and influence on the team is significant and, as a result, this will be an incredible loss for the national team.
"Our focus now is on ensuring she has all the support she wants and needs to navigate recovery and rehab."
She joins a long list of women's players who have suffered similar injuries with England duo Beth Mead and Leah Williamson, Vivianne Miedema of the Netherlands and Canada's Janine Beckie all missing the World Cup.
Writing on X, formerly known as Twitter, Mead wrote: "Gutted for you, no words will help right now but sending big love and wishing you a speedy recovery."

'A significant dent to Chelsea's title defence'​

This is a hugely significant injury and could turn the tide in the WSL title race in favour of Chelsea's rivals.
There are no arguments against claims that Kerr is one of the world's greatest players and her impact, not just in terms of goals but also in experience, will be a considerable dent to Chelsea's title defence.
While recent injuries have disrupted her time with Australia, she has featured in the last nine games for Chelsea in all competitions and has been a mainstay since arriving in London.
We have seen England forward Mead recover well from her recent ACL injury but she did not return to the international stage for over a year, so this will be a long process for Kerr.
The timing of her injury is an even bigger blow for Australia, who had to navigate the group stage of the 2023 World Cup without their captain and now need to seal Olympic qualification in Kerr's absence.
Kerr is the latest in a list of high-profile players to suffer an ACL injury and her setback will further increase the need for more research on injury prevention for female footballers.
It will be interesting to see what happens with Kerr's future too. She will be ruled out for the six months that remain on her Chelsea contract while her manager Emma Hayes is leaving the club to manage the United States national team in the summer.

Pretty sure he’d be referring to Arsenal getting rolled by Liverpool in the Cup.

I remember one wintery night at Highbury circa 95, a mate and I somehow ended up with Home tickets and we sat in with the Arsenal supporters. We were the quietest blokes in there as Wednesday went in at half time 2 -1 up. Then when Arsenal went up 3 - 2, this bloke in front of us turns around and gives me "take that you Northern scum!" I suggested that I was actually from further South than he ever would be, to which all his mates laughed and bagged him for the rest of the night. Wednesday got rolled 4 - 2 and we hightailed it pretty quickly at the end, but I'm pretty sure his mates bagged him for ages.

Parody is dead. Imagine trying to write a parody footballers lives story after that?

All you have to do is tell true stories and people think they are parody
 
Well, if you missed that first half for the Asian cup opener for Australia… you are lucky

Crosses and first touches were below par

Two holding mids when the other side is sitting back is a waste

I delivered one cross like the majority of the ones I saw in this game to the forward I played with… after the bake I got for it, he never got one that bad again…

Years ago I was playing in a 7 aside comp, this fella playing up top by himself gave me a bit of a spray about where and when he wanted the ball played. I'm left footed, I'll pick you out I told him. Stuck the ball on the front of his bonce, and lo and behold it hit the back of the net. He never said anything after that.
