Chelsea fans want Sam Kerr back after Fowler's success
Chelsea fans are eager for the return of Sam Kerr, who has been sidelined for 15 months due to an ACL injury. The calls for her comeback follow strong performances from Mary Fowler this season. Fowler, a 22-year-old striker, has scored six goals and provided six assists in the Women's Super League. She also played a crucial part in Chelsea's recent UEFA Champions League match, where they lost 2-0 to Manchester City in the quarter-finals. The second leg of the Champions League is set for March 28. Fans are anxious for Kerr to return, believing her experience is needed to help Chelsea advance in the tournament. Chelsea's coach, Sonia Bompastor, advised fans to be patient. She emphasized that expecting Kerr to instantly become a key player after such a long injury break may not be fair. Bompastor stated that Kerr is progressing well in her rehabilitation but should focus on her own recovery rather than the pressure of expectations. Meanwhile, Fowler recently spent time in the U.S. with her boyfriend, NRL star Nathan Cleary, ahead of the Australian national team's SheBelieves tournament. Unfortunately, the Matildas did not perform well during the tournament, losing all their matches.
