Sam Kerr has now scored four goals for Chelsea this season
They say a week is a long time in football, never mind 99 of them.
Sam Kerr knows that all too well, as her 692-day wait to start a match for Chelsea came to an end on Tuesday.
After scoring in her side's 3-1 Champions League victory against BK Hacken on 20 December 2023, Kerr's career was rocked by injury.
An anterior cruciate ligament injury sustained during a warm-weather training camp in January 2024, followed by several setbacks, kept her out of competitive action until September this year.
