Matildas fans were left with their hearts in their mouths as superstar striker Sam Kerr went down with an injury just weeks out from a home World Cup.
The Australian skipper had already netted a goal in Chelsea's 7-nil thrashing over Everton, who featured compatriot Clare Wheeler, when she was forced from the field with an apparent ankle injury.
Kerr was seen hobbling shortly after she headed home and required treatment on the pitch before being able to walk off under her own power before she was replaced by Pernille Harder in the 32nd minute.
