- Forward among 25 players selected for Champions League knockouts
- Matildas star has not played for 15 months due to serious knee injury
Star striker Sam Kerr has been included in Chelsea’s squad for the Women’s Champions League knock-out rounds in an indication she is nearing a return from injury.
But what should have been a positive milestone in the 31-year-old’s recovery from a serious knee injury which has kept her off the pitch for 15 months was tempered by Chelsea coach Sonia Bompastor, who urged fans to lower expectations about Kerr’s long-awaited comeback.
