'An absolute nurse queen' - Sam Kerr thanks Chelsea team-mate Millie Bright for help after injury nightmare

The Matildas star was with Chelsea at a training camp in Morocco where she suffered an ACL injury, as confirmed by the club on Sunday. After being diagnosed with an injury that could potentially end her season, Kerr thanked colleague Millie Bright for taking care of her.

The Chelsea forward uploaded a photo of Bright on her Instagram story with the caption, "Don't know what I would have done without my Millie B last few days. Been absolute nurse queen."

The 30-year-old Australia international started the season on a high, having scored nine goals in 12 appearances across all competitions. She also netted a hat-trick in the Blues' 4-1 win over Paris FC in a Women's Champions League group stage match back in November.

Kerr's injury comes as a huge blow for Emma Hayes' side who are preparing to play their first game of 2024 on Sunday against West Ham in an FA Women's Cup fourth-round clash. They are currently top of the WSL, three points clear of second-placed Manchester City.
