Kerr says only '85 percent' fit for Women's Asian Cup

Kerr returned to club football for Chelsea in September in her first match since picking up a serious knee injury in December 2023. Being ready for the Asian Cup on home soil has been at the forefront of her mind and the 32-year-old will lead out Australia against the Philippines in Perth on Sunday in the opening game of the 12-team tournament. "When you're out for so long, you have all this self-doubt creep in," said Kerr, who signed off with a goal against Manchester United in her final match before the Asian Cup.
