Sam Kerr has surprised Chelsea fans after she was pictured back in training on Sunday afternoon, having travelled with Sonia Bompastor's squad to a warm-weather training camp in Portugal. The Matildas star ruptured her ACL in January last year and underwent knee surgery on the issue while she was back in England.

Kerr, 31, who missed the remainder of the WSL season, is not expected back in action until February or March but was pictured running through several drills while taking shots on goal. It is, though, understood that the Aussie striker is not yet training with the rest of the Chelsea team, with US star Mia Fishel also recovering from an ACL tear.

Kerr was also pictured pictured enjoying a trip to the beach with her teammates during the training camp. The Chelsea star has also been through a particularly difficult few weeks after learning that her grandmother had been struck by a car. The incident occurred after Coral, 89, was getting off a bus near to her home in Perth.
