It's the vision countless Matildas fans have been craving - captain Sam Kerr back running for the first time at training as she inches towards a return after 18 months out injured with an ACL injury.
Kerr, 31, won't play in two upcoming matches against Slovenia in Perth - plus a fixture against Panama on July 5 - but will remain in camp with new coach Joe Montemurro's squad.
Her actual return date to competitive football remains unknown, but both the Matildas and Chelsea would have been buoyed by the scenes this week at the Sam Kerr Football Centre in Western Australia.
