LONDON — Chelsea striker Sam Kerr will remain sidelined until at least February as she tries to return from a torn ACL. The 31-year-old Australia international sustained the injury last January during Chelsea's warm-weather training camp in Morocco. She underwent surgery shortly afterward. Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor says "We are looking to maybe have her back with us February, March, not before that."
