The 32-year-old suffered an ACL injury during a warm-weather training camp in Morocco back in January 2024, but her last start for the London club came even earlier - in a Champions League meeting with BK Häcken on December 20, 2023.
Kerr was first welcomed back into the first-team fold in September, coming off the bench in Chelsea’s second Women’s Super League game of the season and finding the net against Aston Villa.
