Sam Kerr finally reveals what Matildas’ plan for her injured calf was all along - as Tony Gustavsson explains why benching her vs France was the right call

Daily Mail  

Sam Kerr is back. Neither Sam Kerr nor coach Tony Gustavsson answered that burning query after the captain played 65 minutes as a substitute and converted her spot-kick in the penalty shootout that secured quarter-final victory over France on Saturday. Sam Kerr rushes onto the pitch showing no calf concerns with Ellie Carpenter and Caitlin Foord and Steph Catley after Cortnee Vine slammed home the winner Gustavsson and captain Kerr were all smiles after the match - but the coach later admitted he was worried about his star's ability to get through a long playing stint Kerr showed plenty of poise when she drew Australia level at 3-3 in the penalty shootout 'But with everything that's been going on, the best thing for today was the plan we did and the plan we followed and when I hurt my calf, the plan was to always, like, be ready for semi-final time. Kerr's journey since injuring her calf on July 19, the eve of their World Cup opener, has been a roller-coaster. Kerr changed the game when she came on in the 55th minute, then stood tall at the penalty shootout, wiping away memories of blasting a spot-kick into the stands against Norway in a round-of-16 loss four years ago.
