Kerr's current contract with Chelsea expires in the summer, but it is believed that the 30-year-old has committed her future to the west London club, according to <a href="https://theathletic.com/5197957/2024/01/25/sam-kerr-chelsea-contract/">The Athletic.</a> The Australian is currently nursing a ruptured <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/sam-kerr-season-over-huge-blow-for-chelsea-star-player-acl-injury-blow-training-camp-morocco/blt836342f89a933560" target="_blank">anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)</a> which will keep her sidelined for the remainder of the 2023-24 season.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Unfortunately, her long-term injury means she is unlikely to play another match under manager Emma Hayes, who is leaving Chelsea at the end of the season to take <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/chelsea-emma-hayes-uswnt-challenge-olympics-world-cup/blt15abbeb5a016c706" target="_blank">on the role of head coach for the USWNT.</a>“With the announcement (of Kerr’s injury) the focus for Sam right now is on rehab,” Hayes said when asked about Kerr’s contract situation on earlier in January. “I’m sure when the time is right to discuss her future that will come from Sam and the club, but Sam loves Chelsea and Chelsea loves Sam, so I think that’s the most important thing to say on that front.”

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Since joining the Blues in 2019 from Chicago Red Stars, Kerr has been a prolific goalscorer, netting 99 goals in 128 matches. She has contributed significantly to Chelsea's success, winning four Women's Super League (WSL) titles, three FA Cups, and two League Cups during her time in west London.

DID YOU KNOW?

While Kerr focuses on her rehabilitation, Chelsea are set to return to action against Brighton &amp; Hove Albion in a league fixture on Saturday. They currently lead the WSL standings by three points over Manchester City.
