Summary
Fans are grippingly waiting to see when Sam Kerr will return to the Matildas after her 16-month injury layoff following a cruciate ligament surgery. While she tentatively returned to training with Chelsea but remains not fully cleared for the national team, coach Tom Sermanni noted that her return is conditional on both her fitness and her club's readiness. Meanwhile, the absence of other key players due to various injuries has opened slots for new faces like Morgan Aquino, Amy Sayer, Kahli Johnson, and Jada Whyman. The upcoming matches against Argentina, coming off a She Believes Cup set-back, present an opportunity for Sam to regain international form if her club supports her return.
