Kerr celebrates Blues start with Champions League brace

Sam Kerr has celebrated her first Chelsea start in almost two years by scoring a double, then declaring herself 100 per cent fit and "ready to go" for more game time and goals.

After returning for the Matildas with starts against Wales and England in late October, Kerr made her first club start since December 2023 in the Champions League clash with Austrian tournament debutants St. Poelten.

In encouraging signs ahead of Australia's Asian Cup campaign in March, the Matildas captain led the line for all 94 minutes, grafting away before bagging a late brace in the thumping 6-0 win.
