Matildas superstar Sam Kerr is in good spirits after undergoing surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament injury which ended her Olympic dream.
The striker, 30, took to Instagram before going under the knife, telling her 1.8million followers 'still gotta wear fresh sneakers in the hospital' as she posted a photo of her feet clad in a pair of Nikes while she wore a patient's gown.
Chelsea boss Emma Hayes confirmed the club's gun striker had surgery on Thursday after picking up the devastating injury during what the manager felt had merely been a 'simple and innocuous' everyday movement on the training field.
