It’s a sad day for soccer fans as it has been announced that star striker Sam Kerr will miss the opening two games of the Women’s World Cup due to injury. Kerr, who plays for Australia, is one of the most talented and prolific players in the world and her absence will be felt by her team and the tournament as a whole.
Kerr suffered a hamstring injury during a training session and was immediately ruled out of the first two games of the tournament. This is a huge blow to the Matildas, as Kerr is one of their most important players and a key part of their attack. Her absence will be felt especially in the opening game against Italy, which is expected to be a tight affair.
The Matildas have been preparing for the tournament for months and Kerr’s injury is a major setback. However, they will have to find a way to cope without her and will need to rely on their other attacking players to step up in her absence.
Kerr is expected to return for the third game against Brazil, but it remains to be seen how much of an impact she can make after missing two games. It’s a huge blow for her personally, as she was hoping to make an impact on the tournament and help her team progress as far as possible.
This is a difficult situation for all involved, but it’s important to remember that injuries are part of the game and that teams must find ways to cope with them. The Matildas will have to do just that in the opening two games of the tournament without their star striker.
