LONDON (AP) - Australia striker Sam Kerr sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury during a warm-weather training camp with Chelsea women's team in Morocco, the English club said Sunday.
Kerr, who has scored 99 goals in 128 games for Chelsea, will be assessed by a specialist before beginning a lengthy period of rehabilitation.
Kerr's absence is a huge blow for Chelsea, which is top of the Women's Super League - three points clear of Manchester City and Arsenal.
"Everyone at Chelsea would like to wish Sam the very best for her recovery," a team statement read.
