The striker’s confidence is palpable, and it’s clear she’s relishing the opportunity to get back on the pitch and do what she does best – score goals.
For Kerr, it’s all about playing time and getting those precious minutes on the pitch. “Every time I went out onto the pitch in the few games before Christmas, I scored or assisted. I think now it’s just down to playing time, and I’d obviously like to be on the pitch as much as possible,” she said in a club website interview. And it’s clear that the more she plays, the better she gets. “Every game, I can feel myself getting better and better. During the Wolfsburg and Liverpool games, I felt like myself again.”
