LONDON — Australia striker Sam Kerr has sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury during a warm-weather training camp with Chelsea women's team in Morocco. Kerr has scored 99 goals in 128 games for Chelsea. She will be assessed by a specialist before beginning a lengthy period of rehabilitation but Australian media reported Kerr could be out of action for up to nine months. Kerr's absence is a huge blow for Chelsea. The team is top of the Women's Super League, three points clear of Manchester City and Arsenal.
